It has only been in the last couple years that I’ve started to save and eat the heart. I attribute it to watching Steven Rinella on his “Meateater” show, he has inspired me to be more adventurous in how I cook my wild game. While it’s not my favorite cut of meat, I’m learning to enjoy the heart. I’ve cooked it a couple different ways, fried in bacon grease, smoked put on a cracker with cheese, but I wanted to try something different this time around, so I took stock of what was in the pantry and came up with this. Enjoy!
