Every chef has his own unique ways of dealing with organ meats, but why not try this "Kidney and Vegetable Medley" served over buttered noodles. (Agriculture Canada photo) • Give organ meats a chance! Organ meats include - liver, kidney, heart, tongue, sweetbreads, brains and tripe. Perhaps we should blame the dictionary for the minor role these cuts of meat have played for centuries in- our nour diets. Organ meats are known as "offal" which is defined as the waste parts of a butchered animal, as by- products,.or as less valuable portions. Shame on you who believe every----w-ord 'in the dictionary! Give the organ meats.a chance! Not only are organ meats as delicious and as pleasing to the palate as the •outer cuts but they're good for you in terms . of economy , and nutritive value. Liver and kidney are especially rich sources of iron - a mineral found to be lacking in the diets of many Canadians by the Nutrition Canada Survey. Iron is essential for the.for- mation of hemoglobin in the red blood cells which carry oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the^ body. A lack of this , mineral may result in symptoms_.of- - -fatigue --.and listlessness. Organ meats 'are more perishable than other -meats and . should be used im- mediately after purchase, or frozen tip to three to four months:. If' "previously frozen", -use as soon as possible and do not refreeze. Liver isa tender meat but there is some variation in the tenderness and flavor of the different types. Calf is the mildest, most tender and highest . priced liver. Pork. liver is stronger flavored than beef liver. Liver may be cooked medium done (light pink in center) or well done (when' pink color has just disappeared) . Whether baked, braised on- broiled, liver should never be over- cooked or it will become tough.' Allow 1/4 to one third pound per serving. . Kidney is another organ meat that, if properly prepared, can be juicy and flavorful. Beef and pork lkidneys are strong, in flavor but for a milder flav it may besoaked in cold,. salted water- (1 tablespoon salt to 4 cups water) or marinated in a French .dressing in the refrigerator for an hour before cooking. They are best covered and braisedor stewed. Lamb and veal eidneys are more tender and milder in flavor and should be cooked briefly, either broil- , , panfried' or lightly. browne, and braised for a few minutes in a flavorful sauce. Remember that, kidney toughens -,when overcooked. For best color, brown a small amount at a • time. Allow about one third pound per serving.
