BEEF HEART EN MOLE



Beef Heart en Mole image

Beef Heart is inexpensive and lean, but it's unusual to find in the grocery. My recipe is the only version I know of that is southwest style, in fact, this is fusion cuisine, because this is not an authentic southwest recipe. Mole adds a wonderful richness to this dish. You might want to make a pan of cornbread, it's great with this. Serve with red wine, and a salad of jicama, cabbage, and celery.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality beef heart. Look for a heart that is plump and firm, with no signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Soak the beef heart in milk or buttermilk for at least 2 hours before cooking. This will help to tenderize the meat and remove any impurities.
  • Cook the beef heart slowly and gently. Braising or stewing are good methods for cooking beef heart, as they allow the meat to become tender and flavorful without becoming dry.
  • Use a flavorful marinade or sauce to enhance the taste of the beef heart. Mole sauce is a traditional Mexican sauce that pairs well with beef heart, but you can also use other sauces, such as barbecue sauce or tomato sauce.
  • Serve the beef heart with your favorite sides. Rice, beans, and tortillas are all good options.

Conclusion:

Beef heart is a delicious and nutritious organ meat that is often overlooked. When cooked properly, it can be just as tender and flavorful as other cuts of beef. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy beef, give beef heart a try. You may be surprised at how much you like it!
