I know a lot of people aren’t big on eating offal, so before I share with you the recipe that I use below, let me first give you 8 reasons why you should add Kidney to your diet.

1. Optimal Kidney Health and Function

Beef kidney provides essential nutrients like selenium, B vitamins, and iron. These nutrients support kidney health by aiding in waste filtration, maintaining fluid balance, and protecting against oxidative stress.

2. Urinary Health, Gout & Detoxification

Rich in B vitamins and antioxidants, beef kidney supports urinary system function and helps balance uric acid levels, making it beneficial for those concerned about gout. It also aids in detoxification, promoting the elimination of toxins from the body.

3. Great for Histamine Metabolism

The DAO enzymes found in beef kidneys assist in histamine metabolism, which can help alleviate symptoms related to histamine sensitivity and promote overall immune health.

4. Energy & Thyroid Health

Loaded with B12 and selenium, beef kidney supports energy metabolism, thyroid function, and hormone regulation. This makes it an excellent choice for maintaining healthy energy levels and supporting thyroid health.

5. Muscle Support

As a rich source of high-quality protein, beef kidney aids in muscle repair and growth. It provides essential amino acids necessary for maintaining muscle tissue and overall muscle health.

6. Low Carbohydrate Content

If you are following a low-carb diet or managing blood sugar levels, beef kidney is a carb-free option that delivers essential nutrients without adding unwanted carbohydrates to your meals.

7. Combat Fatigue

The heme iron in beef kidney boosts iron levels in the body, aiding in oxygen transport and combating fatigue. This makes it a great choice for boosting energy levels and reducing feelings of weakness.

8. Brain Health

Phosphatidylcholine, found in beef kidney, supports cognitive function and brain health. It enhances mental clarity and focus, making beef kidney a valuable addition to a diet aimed at maintaining optimal brain function.

Now, let's dive into preparing this flavorful Jamaican dish.

Jamaican Stewed Kidney Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 to 2 lbs Beef Kidney
  • 2 stalks Scallion
  • 1 ½ medium Onion
  • 6 cloves Garlic
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon Pimento Berries
  • 1 sprig of Fresh Thyme
  • 1 small Tomato
  • 1 tablespoon Salt
  • ½ Scotch Bonnet Pepper
  • ½ inch Ginger Root
  • 1 tablespoon Browning
  • ¼ to ½ Bell Pepper
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons Cooking Oil
  • ¼ cup Ketchup
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1 tbsp Maggi seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Rinse the beef kidney under cold water and trim away any excess fat. Cut into bite-sized pieces, discarding the tough white parts.

  2.  Marinate: In a bowl, marinate the beef kidney with salt, browning, maggi seasoning and all the chopped herbs and spices. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.

  3.  Cooking: Heat some cooking oil in a large pot over medium-high heat then add the marinated kidney and brown on all sides. Pour in water, cover, and simmer over low heat for 25 minutes or until the kidney is tender. Next stir in ketchup and browning for colour and additional flavour. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper if needed.

  4. Serve: Remove the ginger root and thyme sprig before serving. Serve with boiled green bananas, boiled breadfruit, roast breadfruit, dumpling or yam.
