    Reindeer hearts

    My stepson just came home. He is in training to be a chef, and he brought a bag full dried reindeer hears for me.
    Totally solved the question of what my next camp fire meal will be :-)

    If there are no women around and a man says something, is he still wrong?

    Chop them up, and fry them with some sour cream, pepper and salt.

    Hearts are among the best cuts of meat from every critter. Many years ago the old timers would ask me for the hearts from my deer. First year thought nothing of it. The next year started thinking if they like it so much, mightn't I as well?? Eatin' hearts ever since.

    I like hearts...lambs heart is my favourite.

    I usually make an offal stew with everything. Heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, tongue and I'll throw in either the cheeks or some belly as well. Let it boil, skim it to rid of some impurities. Add bay leaf, sage, throw in carrots, onion, garlic, let it cook until they've all softened. Remove the tongue and take off the outer skin, slice up and out back in the pot.

    Then I add pre cooked rice at the end and let it cook until warmed.

    Serve in a bowl. It's the best way I can do justice to the animal.
