I saved the deer heart from my buck. Never ate it before but everyone gives me crap for not, so I figured I would give it a go this time. So, how do you make yours? Any tips for me?
Sounds like what Im planning...just figured I would slice and pan fry with butter and onion. Pretty much same thing Im going to do with the tenderloins Im having with it lol. Thanks!
Isn't there an old ritual dish with heart, liver and kidneys? I know the owner of the shop I frequent does something with all of it.
Just got finished. Wasnt bad. I wasnt crazy over it though. My mom has been begging me to give them to her for the dogs, very healthy for them I guess, so I think all future ones will go to her. But I am glad I tried it!
Heart is awesome. You probably over cooked it. Panfried in butter and onions to medium rare. Any more than that and it gets tough and loses flavor.
Agreed! Heart should be tender and juicy and almost melt in your mouth. We cut ours into strips and dredge in egg and flower then pan fry. Gravy is made from the drippings and served alongside mashed taters. It's an awesome meal.
Heart is not my favorite. I usually slice mine into small cubes and freeze in (4) zip lock baggies. I live on a lake and like to use them for catfish bait. They work very well.
I either bread and pan fry or I'll brine it over night, boil it till cooked, then slice thin for sandwiches.
Yeah guess I might have to try and bread it. I may have over cooked, was tough for sure. Not to bad, but didnt melt in my mouth.
Pan fry and serve with eggs for breakfast. Always was the tradition wiyh my dad after a successful hunt.
Slice heart and let it soak for a few hours in a cold water in the fridge, changing water as the blood diffuses in the water. Cut into slices and cut out the heart valves, cartilage. Pan fry with butter, onions and salt/pepper, but don't over-cook.
