very nice! lots of deer hearts go to waste. shanks, too. damn shame. Redhunter, that sounds absolutely fantastic. gonna have to do that. I usually just slice it thin, clean, remove the strings and sear them hot and fast in butter with onions, minced garlic, s & p.
I learned how to do that from a professional chef while moose hunting in 2003. said chef was the camp cook. I arrowed a moose on my birthday on that trip. a conspiracy ensued. to my surprise, that evening we dined on my fresh moose heart (which is the size of a football and fed us all) and escargot plucked fresh that afternoon, drank too much hooch, and the sumbich even baked me a cake. braised moose heart was delicious beyond what I can articulate. I weren't worthy of such celebration, but grateful nonetheless. those Newfies are something else.
