Offal

Anyone here a fan of nose to tail cooking?

First, how's everyone!!!

Holiday season is busy and I haven't visited for a while.

I got my sous vide and have been experimenting since.

Anyway, I was just going to get some bacon at the grocery, when I stumbled on that they were selling offal. So I thought, hmmm... this could be fun.

Got some ingredients and started cooking.

Here we have sous vide then seared beef toungue, sous vide ox tail, sous vide then crisped up tripe, toasted purple cauliflower and romanesco, smoked potatoes and sherry jus.

I got some smoked butter and used it to make a quick potato salad.

So how was it? It looks great.

I haven't tried the ox tail but some of the people here have and cook it for 100 hours to get it really tender. I've done tongue, cooked it 24 hours and it was great.

As to offal, I've done oxtail (oven braised) and I adore sweetbreads! Of course sweetbreads are about as bad (cholesterol-wise) as proteins can get but damm...they are so good. Of late I've discovered that the neck meat of poultry, while not exactly offal, has some of the most tender and tasty bits if you're willing to pick the meat off the bones. One thing I haven't tried that's on my list are lambs tongues. Have you every prepared lambs tongue?

Love it all. The offal the better.😋

Here in Manhattan, tongue is not considered offal, but rather is often more expensive on your rye bread sandwich than is brisket.

Or....'that's offaly good!'

Love 'em! Now, are pork cheeks in the same category? Love those too!

And let's not forget beef cheeks....holy cow....(no pun intended)....sticky, tender morsels of bovine goodness!

Thabk you all. I cooked the ox tail for 24 hours. The tongue in the same temp for 8, and the tripe stayed there for 25 (mainly because i forgot). I have not tried lamb tongue, but have cooked beef cheeks for a whole year when i was working.

We were serving it for lunch, as beef cheek torta.

If anyone knows where I could buy chicken neck, i would love to know. It was my favorite during my college years and would love yo fiddle around it and create a dish.

I have no idea where you are located, but you might ask your grocery butcher if he can order them for you if he doesn't have some on hand. I also did a very quick www search and found these...

That looks very delicious , but unheathy as well. I may just suppose how this dish heightens your level of "bad cholesterol" , causing many health probems. If I were you, I'd read the article about the review of the the Oxidized Cholesterol Strategy on https://fruitfulkitchen.org/ that will show you all the sides of unhealthy food and high level of cholesterol. It's really interesting to observe even if you didn't have any trouble with your health. Sometimes, it's better to read and reconsider your diet and your health state in general. It may be really helpful in your 60's and 70's. From a big fan of healthy lifestyle!
