“DON’T HATE ME FOR LOVING THIS! This bowl of meaty goodness was inspired by a time where I would set aside a few hours once a month to batch cook my dog’s food. Using one of those enormous rice cookers, I boil up 10kg diced chicken breasts, liver and beef mince. After cooking, I reserve the broth (which I use to pour over their food) and stir in cooked brown rice and vegetables. This then gets portioned and popped in our chest freezer (and I can ‘relax’ for another 30 days). However, before I stir in the rice and veg, I set aside a small bowl of the cooked meat for myself and I enjoy it with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt flakes. This is such a treat and makes all that hard labour worth it! I recreated it here for my carnivore readers. Remember, liver is the most nutrient-packed food you can gift your body.” – Monya

The simple process retains essential nutrients, making them readily available for the body’s utilization. Chicken, with its protein content, is a staple for any low-carb diet. It aids in muscle repair and growth while keeping carbohydrate intake to a minimum.
Known as nature’s multivitamin, liver is packed with vitamins A, B12, and iron. It supports brain function, boosts energy levels, and promotes a healthy immune system. The distinct flavour of liver adds depth and richness to the dish, elevating the overall taste experience. Minced beef, with its higher fat content, complements the chicken and liver. It provides a good source of fat and other essential nutrients like zinc and vitamin B6. The combination of these ingredients creates a well-rounded keto meal that keeps the body in a state of ketosis, where it efficiently burns fat for energy.
In summary, this simple dish offers a delectable and nutrient-dense option for those following a ketogenic or carnivore diet. I hope you enjoy the simple flavours and benefits, but please do not forget the essential olive oil and salt flakes to finish!
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Bowl of Meaty Goodness
Per serving
Equipment
Ingredients
- 600 g (21.2 oz) skinless, deboned chicken thighs, chopped small
- 200 g (7 oz) ground beef mince
- 150 g (5.3 oz) lamb or calf liver, chopped small
- 4 TB olive oil
- sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Boil the kettle while you prepare your meat. You want the chicken* in little bite-size pieces and the liver in very small dice. *I like to use chicken thighs because they remain tender with all that simmering, whereas breasts will overcook and toughen.
- Place the whole lot in a large pan and add about 700ml (24 fl.oz) hot water. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a moderate simmer for about 30-35 minutes. You may want to skim off and discard any foamy impurities that rise to the surface.
- It is done when you cut open a piece of chicken and it is no longer pink in the centre. (The mince and liver would have definitely cooked through after that amount of time.)
- Use a ladle to remove all the broth until you are left with only the chunky meat mixture. Tipping the pan to one side helps. There is no need to discard the broth. I personally keep it in a little jug in the fridge. Once chilled, I can pick off the solidified fat that sits on the surface, then I heat up a small amount to pour over my dogs food every morning. (They aren't 'keto', so I monitor their fat intake carefully.)
- The STAR OF THE SHOW is the olive oil that is drizzled over, approx. 1 tablespoon per serving. Don't forget to scatter over salt flakes before tucking in! So simple and addictive!
