Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Meat

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a large bowl, combine the beef liver, beef heart, and beef kidney. Trim any excess fat and cut them into smaller pieces for easier handling.

  2. 2

    Grind the Meat

    Using a meat grinder, grind the mixture of meats along with the pork fatback until you achieve a smooth consistency. This will provide the base for your 5th Quarter Cap.

Seasoning the Mixture

  1. 3

    Add Spices

    In a large mixing bowl, add the ground meat mixture to the bowl. Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Shape the Mixture

    Form the seasoned meat mixture into small patties or caps, about 2 inches wide and 1 inch thick. This will help them cook evenly.

  2. 5

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a nice golden brown crust.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Add Beef Stock

    Once the patties are cooked, pour in the beef stock and let it simmer for 5 minutes. This will enhance the flavor and keep them moist.

  2. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve the 5th Quarter Caps garnished with crumbled bacon and chopped parsley. Enjoy as a rich and flavorful delicacy.
