How to cook a lamb heart
- The heart must be cleansed of the thin film covering it. To do this, you need to use your nails, running your fingers under the film or prying it off the heart with a knife.
- Cut the heart in three lengthways and cut out the large blood ducts.
- Rinse under running water.
- Boil water in a saucepan and immerse the heart in it.
- Remove the foam formed in the first minutes of cooking.
- Cook for 50 - 90 minutes. We check the readiness of the heart with a knife or a wooden skewer: if a sharp object gently passes through the meat fibers, then the pan can be removed from the heat.

The heart will cook faster if you cut it into large cubes or large strips.If the heart you got has a strong lamb aroma, you can get rid of it by soaking the heart for 2-3 hours in cool water salted and acidified with 2 tablespoons of vinegar.
Heart broth has a fairly neutral flavor, so the resulting broth works well for gravy, but not at all for making soup.
