Around Valentine’s Day I happened to have a lot of heart in my kitchen because I had a feeling that the penis (which I was using to develop a recipe) wouldn’t be appreciated by everyone at the table. Heart on the other hand is a pretty nice cut of meat. Meaty with a slightly gamey flavor (think kidney but much milder) the texture of heart is similar to that of chicken gizzard. Heart is also one of the most versatile organ meats; it’s tough and low in fat but can be cooked quickly or braised for a long time.
