First go at venison heart

[TNRifleman]

Well I will be keeping and cooking the heart from now on. This was fabulous. Salt, pepper and pan fried in Kerrygold butter. WOW!!!

 

[Climber]

I have yet to try it and keep meaning to do so but I know my family would never go for it.

I have eaten the turkey heart every thanksgiving since I was a kid. No idea why I never tried the deer heart before.

I tried it once and it tasted almost like liver. Is it supposed to taste like liver?

I hate liver but loved this.

 

[WORM82]

I fried it hot n fast for a min or 2 per side and it still looked rare in the middle.

 

[Crosshairy]

Are you sure you cooked the heart and not the liver?

:poke:

 

[user 14220]

Fried the heart from my last deer the same day I killed it. It to had a very faint liver taste to it. But since I like liver the heart was still delicious.

Always save the heart

I just cooked my first hearts today. I enjoyed the flavor.

 

[Gvit]

That looks great!

 

[waterman]

save every heart I get. my buddies save them for me as well. just another muscle. cooked rite can be fabulous :drool:

 

[WTM]

those fajitas look great but for some reason i just cant do it. maybe its the nostalgia or something, i dont know, but ive eaten more disgusting things like squirrel heads(tongue, jawls and brains). but every time i think of eating hearts i just get nautious.

You can fix it the way you want, but to me it's a waste to do anything but pickle it. If a recipe "tastes like steak", then use steak. But only heart can taste like pickled heart.

When I have a jar of pickled heart in the fridge, when I get home from work I grab a fork and eat three or four pieces cold right from the jar. Great appetizer before a beer or a bourbon.

Had my first deer heart a couple days ago when the wifey unit was out shopping (read $$$).

Salt and pepper and then fried it in my carbon steel frying pan with olive oil. About 1 1/2 minutes per side - OH MY GOD!!!! Yea, I'll be doing that again!

You will find yourself trying to NOT shoot them in the heart from now on.

No doubt. Two deer yesterday but only got one heart. :(

 

[TAFKAP]

I dropped one in the creek on Sunday. Sad panda.....

Dang thing just shot out of my hand. In my defense, it was cold out, and my dexterity was shot.

 

[TNRifleman]

Well here is number 2. I even got 2 of my 4 kids to admit it was really good.

 

[FTG-05]

TN, how did you cut that up? The one heart I did, I cut across the horizontally and I got meat that looked like donuts (those heart chambers are pretty big!). So I'm looking to cut the next one up like you did yours.

Thanks,

 

[trichard]

Gotta try it my next deer

I sliced it vertically. About 1/3" slices.
