Cooking with Cybermyk - A Hearty Valentines Supper

[Cybermyk]

So it getting close to valentines day and I thought, what better to cook for your loved one than <B Lambs hearts <B

Ingredients

You'll need some lambs hearts
Sage and onion stuffing (enough to fill them)
Half a finely chopped small onion.

Set your oven for 180c

Method

Remove the hearts from any packaging.

Cut away the arteries to help open up the tops of the ventricles. Then wash. Get your fingers down into the ventricles to remove any congealed blood.

Mix the chopped onion into the stuffing and stuff the hearts

Roast in the oven for 1 1/2 hours turning over after the first 45 minutes.

I've just had mine with mash and a red wine sauce but I'd suggest sharing meat and two veg with your loved one

Looks nice, and very different . Can you wrap the hearts in anything... say, bacon?

 

[Zenduri]

Im pretty sure if i cooked any woman that she would leave me.... no offence lol

How much do the hearts cost? Might nip into my butchers later in the week and order some/see if they have any kicking about.
At all similar to liver/kidney?

I have similar knives to you!

The Mrs just looked over my shoulder and said "gross", I'm inclined to agree but salute your willingness to try something new. Part of me wants to try it, but I couldn't stake (bom bom) Valentine's dinner on it.

I could be wrong but I thought hearts were cheap, 'cos no one buys them (well, rarely).

The flavour is not a offal as you would think It would probably go with bacon but I would go with a low salt variety so you don't mess up your heart too much.

I think they were £1.60 for the three at Tesco. I would liken them more to liver but the texture is tender in comparison.

I think I'm going to be ill. Thread needs a warning tag!

My heart goes out to whoever has to choke that down.

Would defo give it a try, the end result looks pretty nice tbf.

I'm definately going to get some hearts, especially as it's so cheap. Two per person a good sized meal?

Just the same as any other part of an animal you eat. Why is it so bothersome to you?

Don't really know why I ask the question - don't expect him to be coming back in 'ere!

I always have to pop back in cooking threads. Just not gonna look at the pics this time.

Yeah, I suppose the heart is just another muscle, just like any other cut of meat. I'm not too fond of lamb, though. But I'm always up to try anything once!


Cybermyk: what's the recipe for the red wine sauce? It looks rich and delicious.

Interesting how many people are all "ewww that's gross" at stuff like this, yet happily eat liver/steak/any other meat all the time.

 

[SilverTongue]

Looks good always loved heart, prefer Ox heart to Lambs heart though. Latough if i served this as a Valentines meal for my other half she'd leave me, damn veggies

 

[decmatt]

I think I'd be dumped if I served my gf heart

That's as good as any. Mine was more of a throw everything in a pan and reduce it for consistency effort. It turned out really nice though

I was making it for myself as the two daughters I had with me the night I made it preferred gammon steaks and chips with onion rings for some reason
