Ask any Egyptian who grew up with a butcher in the family: the best plate was never the steak, it was the beef heart and kidney, sautéed fast with onions and peppers and eaten straight from the pan with bread. That flavor is hard to find now. Here it is.
This mix brings together beef heart and beef kidney in one kilo. The heart is lean and meaty with a firm, satisfying bite. The kidney is softer, with a deep, distinctive flavor. Together they make one of the most traditional dishes on the Egyptian table.
Where Our Heart and Kidney Come From
Both come from our own Balady calves at Kandouz age, which means milder flavor and a more tender texture than organs from older animals. They are prepared by our team and packed fresh.
How to Cook Heart and Kidney
Slice the heart and kidney into small, even pieces and soak the kidney in water with a little vinegar for 20 minutes, then rinse. Sauté onions and garlic in ghee, add the meat over high heat, then green peppers, tomato, cumin, black pepper and a pinch of hot chili. Cook just until done so the heart stays tender. They are also excellent threaded on skewers and grilled over charcoal.
Why Farm House Heart and Kidney
Our calves are naturally raised on our own farm for about 400 days with zero hormones and zero chemicals, and organs are where that difference shows most. Every pack is vacuum packed by our team with no bare hand contact.
