Joy at The Liberated Kitchen January 30, 2012 at 2:23 am

We’ve been trying to get more organ meats in because they’re so economical and nutritious. Tongue is a great way to do that if you can get over the ick factor, so I’ve shared our post on our recent encounter with a beef tongue!

We’ve also tried hiding liver in sausage, to varying degrees of success. Check out our Pork Fennel Sausage Patties.
