| I probably should have ask this before I put the heart in the pot. #1 son is home from CA and he gives me a chance to use up stuff that we don't usually eat. So, yesterday I thawed out a heart and put it in a pot this a.m. and added some garlic, onion, bay leaf and some spices. Added a little water and now is simmering on the stove. Don't have a clue how long to cook it or how to serve it. Any suggestions? |

| I make my husband cook it: ) It tasted delicious I just couldn't stand to look at it raw: ) He just cooked it like a beef roast as he said it's just a muscle like any beef roast. It sounds good the way your do it. Enjoy JoAnn |

Here is how I have cooked a beef heart. First trim it, wash it dry it off. Stuff the cavity with stuffing you like, fasten with skewers and string. Roll the heart in seasoned flour and then brown in hot fat. Add a half cup of hot water, cover and bake in a 350 oven for about 2hr. It really is good.
You could also slice it in quarter inch thick pieces, roll in seasoned flour, brown in hot fat, add a small amount of water, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. That is called Chicken Fried Heart. MB

Hello everyone,
Thanks for the tips for roasting a heart. We have always done the chicken fried way and it is delicious. This is the fun of being a farm girl as the city folks sometimes turn up their noses at the notion of eating heart, liver, pickled pigs feet or, heaven forbid, frog legs! I married a hunter who makes fantastic deer and elk sausage and brings me all kinds of things I never would have tried otherwise. Two nights ago we had pheasant and chukkar. Wonderful!
Good luck to you all!
