MEDICINAL PATE:

• Equal parts organs (heart, liver, sweetbreads) and then whatever this looks like in volume, we need that same amount of jowl so the jowl is 50% of the whole volume of organs
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees and you will use the lowest rack position for this
• Slice jowl and fill cast iron pan big enough to add the organs once you have cooked the fat out of the jowl
• Put jowl in the oven and bake for 12 minutes
• Slice all organs or chop into equal size squares (consistent cut = consistent cook)
• Remove jowl, SCRAPE the bottom of the pan with a sharp metal spatula to loosen all the meaty chunks that are stuck on the bottom of the pan (DO A GOOD SCRAPING JOB!)
• Place all the jowl in blender with enough bone broth to cover the blades and flash into a puree
• Add all organs to jowl fat in cast iron pan that was properly scraped and return the pan to the oven for another 12 minutes
• Empty the pan into the blender with the jowl and broth mixture
• Scrape the pan well and use silicon spatula to catch all the fat and rendering crunchies from the pan and fill blender
• ADD real salt to taste
• Puree into a paste then jar

Making MEDICINAL Bone Broth:

What you will need:

1.       Beef marrow or soup bones or chicken back or chicken neck bones or lamb bones or veal bones or fish bones with head on preferred or chicken feet (I’m not adventurous enough for rooster heads yet but when using feet- chop off the tips of the toes with the nails to avoid a mess later)- pasture raised animal bones. You can also add some chicken livers during the last 2-3 hours of your broth cook time to draw out essential nutrients from livers if you are still unable to eat them!

2.       Fresh ginger root and turmeric root

3.      Real salt

4.      Crockpot (I prefer 8 quarts or more but 6-7 will obviously work fine)

5.      Distilled water

6.      Quart sized SMALL MOUTH mason jars

7.      Mason jar funnel is EXTREMELY handy & HIGHLY RECOMMENDED but not required

8.      Fine strainer

The truth is that you can enjoy this chili all by itself as a meal, especially in a large thermos on a road trip or when you are working LONG DAYS with no time to cook.

I like to consume ALL of our animals from head to toe. Nothing should go to waste, but often these cuts are overlooked or underutilized to their fullest potential. BTW- Pork neck bones should not be used afterwards to make bone broth for humans, but dogs can benefit from it and you can also always bury those bones in the garden to use as an amazing mineral supplement. In fact, I hope you are cooking all your bones in a compost pile if not directly burying them in a garden to take advantage of all the mineral stores these regenerative animal bones provide.

LIVER IS THE PROTEIN that allows your body to burn excess fat, maintain a healthy body mass index and heal every cell in your body.
