So ... I started with the recipe in mind ... then it morphed into something totally different and pretty darned good.

Beef Heart Risotto

1 average beef heart, 4-5 lbs
2 clove garlic
2 tsp pepper
5 cups beef stock (homemade of course)
sage, celery, rosemary, pepper flakes
leeks (I have some dehydrated and used a good fistful)
mushrooms
1 1/2 cups rice
1 cup lentils
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped onion

Trim heart of fat and remove inside connective membranes. (mine was pre-trimmed at the butcher shop) Plop into a crockpot with the garlic, herbs and about 2 cups of water. Cook on low overnight. Chill.

In a bowl combine the stock (some was from a roast I recently cooked), rice, lentils and remaining ingredients. Microwave for 20 min on high or cook on low heat till rice is done.

Sliver chilled Beef Heart into thin strips and then cut those into small chunks. Stir into hot risotto. Salt and pepper to taste.

And this one is Gluten Free! ;)
Copied! (Just in case I ever run across a bit of beef heart :lol:). That sounds even better than the original.
