Heart

© Copyright 2010. Do not copy. All rights reserved and enforced.

Heart is classified as offal. It comes from animals such as cows, pigs, lamb, etc.

Demand for Heart has plummeted. It is one of the least popular pieces of offal now.

Heart needs slow cooking to tenderize it -- it is a muscle after all.

The best cooking method for it is perhaps braising. The exception is veal and lamb heart: these can be thinly sliced and fried for a short period of time.

Stuffing Heart and cooking it in a pressure cooker is popular.
