Boiled Beef Omasum with Chili

What it is

A hearty and flavorful dish, focusing on the unique texture and rich taste of the omasum. It's naturally low in carbs and high in protein and fat from the organ meat and cooking process.

Optional tweaks
Naturally keto-friendly. Ensure no high-carb additives in bouillon or seasoning mixes. Serve as is, without carb sides.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in bouillon or seasoning blends. Large quantities of onion/tomato (though typically used sparingly in this dish).
