How To Cook
We Recommend:
Pan-fried lamb Hearts with Garlic and Herbs
Ingredients:
- 4 lamb hearts, cleaned and trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Lamb Hearts:
- Start by trimming any visible fat, gristle, or connective tissue from the lamb hearts. Slice the hearts into ½-inch thick rings or cut them lengthwise into halves.
- Season the hearts lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
-
Preheat the Pan:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
-
Sear the Hearts:
- Add the lamb hearts to the pan and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned and just cooked through. Lamb's hearts cook quickly, so you want them to remain tender and slightly pink in the centre. Overcooking can make them tough.
- Remove the hearts from the pan and set aside on a plate to rest.
-
Make the Garlic and Herb Butter:
- In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once it has melted, stir in the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
- If using, add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the pan and let it simmer for a minute to reduce slightly.
-
Return the Hearts to the Pan:
- Return the lamb hearts to the pan and toss them in the garlic and herb butter, allowing them to warm through for another minute.
-
Serve:
- Serve the hearts immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
Side Dish Suggestions:
- Simple Green Salad: A fresh salad with arugula, spinach, or mixed greens with a light vinaigrette balances the richness of the hearts.
- Roasted Vegetables: Serve with roasted carrots, parsnips, or potatoes for a heartier meal.
- Grilled Asparagus or Green Beans: These make a fresh and vibrant pairing for the rich lamb hearts.
