Yup, Ive got a recipe for these parts of your animal that some folks have no use for.....the heart.

Clean the heart well, inside and out with cool water. Take a sharp knife and trip all the fat and visible cartilige away. make small cuts in any visible veins to drain any excess blood from the heart.

Next, put the heart in a salt water solution for 2 hours. Add three tablespoons of vinegar to the solution too.

Rince the heart off in cold water and pour Louisiana hot sauce into the heart chambers. put the heart in a roasting pan and half submerge it in a solution of water, soy sauce and Louisiana hot sauce...sprinkle some garlic salt all over the heart and roast it in the oven at 350 farenheit for an hour and a half.

At about the one hour mark, flip the heart in the pan and allow the other side to be submerged in the solution. Sprinkle more garlic salt on the heart and finish roasting it.

Take the heart out of the roasting pan and put it on a cutting board and cut as you would a roast, thinly sliced.

makes great sandwiches and if you cut it into cubes, it goes great on a bed of rice and peas. If you melt a cup of honey in the microwave and pour it over top, you will thank me for that one too.

My kids like it and sometimes take it to school in their sandwiches. Very dense grained meat. and the Louisiana hot sauce gives it a bit of bite.

I also take a deer roast and cut it into cubes and cook in in a wok. Then I add a cup of honey and let it melt and stir to cover all the meat. Add garlic salt and put the whole thing on a bed of rice and veggies. Quick, balanced and good for you. And the honey tends to get the kids loving it too.

Oh my... the heart never makes it past dinner on the day the deer gets shot. We always make a smokin good stew out of the heart, potatoes, carrots, venison, etc. I will see if I can get a recipie together.
