so i am walking along today and i found a warm deer heart laying in the leaves, so i put it in my pocket.... my dad always cooked it, cut it into cubes and pickled it, i had it sliced very thin and fried once.... not sure how they did it, ( marinade, or what seasoned with) but it was fabulous... anyone have any good recipe's

who the [censored] eats deer heart!?

 

[birdog]

Boil heart in water witha handful of pickling spices. When tender, slice thin. Layer in quart jar , alternating layers with thin sliced onions. Ya can throw whole garlic in too.
Teh cover with a mixture of half vingar and half water. Let set 3 days then have at it.

I have a counsin who carries a gallon Zip Lock Baggie with him every time he goes out in Rifle Season... he does a lot of Still hunting.. when he comes apone someone who is gutting a deer, he always asks them if they want the heart, if they do not, he then asks for it and almost Always gets it given to him...I've also seen him walk up to Gut Piles and check for hearts, if they are in there, they go in his baggie....

He likes to pickled them and he loves to eat them!


I remember he and I hunting with my Dad 1 year.. I was watching him do his collecting of deer hearts, My Dad saw me watching him closley on what he was doing.. Dad said in 1 of those Dad Tones "DON'T EVEN GET ANY IDEAS IN YOUR HEAD!"

 

[fishkrane]

Pickling them is good,a friend of mine used to get queasy gutting a deer,one day he watched me gut one ,he was turning white,I reached in ,pulled the heart out,and took a big bite out of it,wasn't too bad.he since gave hunting up

Sorry Woody but I gotta know.....Did you respond with "Awww c'mon dad, have a heart" ???

 

[Woodywoodduck]

Sorry Woody but I gotta know.....Did you respond with "Awww c'mon dad, have a heart" ???

Nope... I'm not a Fan of deer hearts, I'll eat them if they are pickled or Fried Correctly....I mostly use mine to use as filler in Bologna...

I check out Gut Piles when I walk onto them...but I DON'T Go digging thru them like my cousin does for the hearts... and it didn't have anything to do with what Dad said!

 

[Findmeinthewoods]

Slice the hearts and dredge them in flour with salt and pepper. Fry them in oil. Best done over a hot, cast iron skillet.

Cast iron skillet, heart sliced about 1/2" thick.
1/2 onion, 1 garlic clove, couple of pinches of fresh green onions, bout a teaspoonful of olive oil.
I put the onions,garlic, and oil on simmer for about 5 mins
Salt and pepper the slices
Turn heat on high, put the meat in contact with the pan.
<span style="color: #FF0000">The key is 1 flip and high heat.</span>
If needed add water to regulate temp.
Cook medium rare, very tender and juicy.
Serve hot with worchester sauce <span style="color: #FF0000"> </span>

Loc: NW PA Just cooked some up, cut away everything but the heart muscle, then cut that in bite size pieces, brown in olive oil, after browned add cut up onion, salt, pepper and worcestershire sauce, (or your favorite sauce), then let simmer till done, if needed add a little water. For the spears I just brown 2min on each side in a little olive oil, then one more minute and done, mmmmmmmm enjoy..

You could also do this with other venison cuts.
