Let real food be your medicine and skip the supplements! It’s cheaper too!

Pass on the cost of supplementing with Coemzyme Q10, and eat beef heart!

I just made some marinated beef heart based on a recipe from Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. It was delicious! I like heart with onions saut?ed in butter or pastured lard. I cook the onions first then quickly cook the heart, a little more than I would cook liver. The heart went nicely with garden fresh zucchini saut?ed in butter.

Marinated Heart
1/4c organic cider vinegar
1/4c organic extra-virgin olive oil
1tsp sea salt
1 bird’s eye chili pepper
1/2tsp organic whole cumin, ground
1 pastured beef heart

Carefully clean the heart and then cut it into four pieces. Remove any connective tissue and fat. (I gave the fat to the hens which are at their peak egg production. They need the fat more than I do!) Thinly slice the heart and marinate overnight.

Organ meats are a superfood. Try to eat organ meats one or twice a week.

Here’s Chris Kesser on the nutrition in organ meats including heart. Here’s a Weston A Price Foundation article by Ron Schmid on dietary supplements. Here’s an old eatkamloops.org post called Supplement or Superfoods.
