I like cooking and eating as much as I like hunting. Thought I would share some kitchen favorites. Just tonight I cooked up a heart donated to me by my father’s buck he killed this week. My wife’s canned Candied Cayenne peppers and peach white balsamic vinegar


2 tablespoons peach white balsamic Vinegar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Cayenne olive oil
2 tablespoons ranch seasoning powder
1 teaspoon garlic minced
1 tablespoon wife’s candied cayenne peppers

marinated overnight and then Seared both sides 1 min each in cast iron then poured the remaining marinade over the heart in the cast iron and put in oven for 9 minutes (it was a big heart, I usually do 8 minutes) then pulled out and put on the cutting board for 4-5 minutes before slicing. Excellent dinner and just as good on a sandwich tomorrow.

I love heart, but did you cut out the veins and non-meat parts?

I do, I trim any white off the outside, cut the valves out of the top and then cut down thru the main valve leaving one thicker side and one thinner. Then I grab all the connective tissue inside the valves and simply trim where it is connected. (Little string type stuff) Leaving me with two steak like pieces of heart. The thicker one goes into the pan first and it also comes out more rare to my liking. If you wanted it more well done simply start the process with it bigger piece and lag the smaller piece by 30 seconds in the pan and an extra minute or two in the oven
