Stuffed Lamb Hearts

Stuffed Lamb Hearts, eat well on universal credit

Personally I never used to be a fan of offal. But these had a yellow sticker on them, so we thought we’d give them a shot. The following day there were 8 more in the discount fridge which are now in our freezer. I think that explains if we enjoyed them…..

Ingredients:-

4 Lamb Hearts
1 Large Onion, finely diced
4 Cloves of Garlic, minced
A handful of fresh Parsley, finely chopped
4 sprigs of Thyme, leaves only, chopped
1 Tsp of dried Sage
100g of Lamb Mince
25g of Breadcrumbs ( Gluten free for us)
16 Rashers of Streaky Bacon
1 Tin of chopped Tomatoes, blitzed
200ml of Red Wine
2 Tbsp of Balsamic Vinegar
1 Tsp of Mixed Herbs
Oil to fry
Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-  

(1) Add a little Oil to a frying pan over a medium heat.
(2) Add ½ of the Onion and ½ of the Garlic & fry until softened.
(3) Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
(4) To the pan add the Parsley, Thyme, Sage, Lamb Mince and season with Salt & Pepper.
(5) Add the Breadcrumbs to the cooled Onions and Garlic & mix well.
(6) Mix this in with the Minced Lamb mixture.
(7) Cut the top of the Hearts so that you can see inside.
(8) Stuff the combined Mince mixture until the heart cavities.
(9) Wrap with the Bacon so they are completely covered.
(10) Heat a little Oil in a Dutch Oven of flameproof casserole dish over a medium heat.
(11) Fry the Hearts to sear on all sides.
(12) Remove and set aside.
(13) Add the remaining Onions and Garlic & fry until softened.
(14) Add a splash of Red Wine to de-glaze the pan.
(15) Add the remaining Wine, Blitzed Tomatoes, Balsamic Vinegar and mixed Herbs.
(16) Stir well and then return the Hearts.
(17) Cover with the lid and place in a preheated over at 150c for 2 ½ hours.
(18) Remove from the oven and set the Hearts aside to keep warm.
(19) Place the Dutch Oven on the hob and reduce the sauce.
(20) Slice the Hearts and serve with the sauce and your choice of vegetables.
(21) Drizzle with Chimichurri Sauce to garnish.

If we’d been served these in a restaurant and didn’t know what they were, we’d never have guessed that they were Hearts. They were really good!

Stuffed Stuffing Ball ( Gluten Free)

Well there was the Chilli injected Scotch Egg experiment a while ago. Clearly Sage & Onion Stuffing Balls need “improvement” Either that or we’ve a bit too much time on our hands!

The Cheese we used was actually home made Sage and Garlic Roule, but shop bought will do the trick. Or even Mozzarella….

For the Bread component we used a couple of Gluten free Thins which had been loitering in the freezer. But sliced Gluten free bread works just a well.

Ingredients:-

Fresh Sage, finely chopped
1 Onion, finely chopped
Bread, reduced to crumbs in a food wuzzer
1 Egg, whisked
Cheese
Margarine
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Combine everything except the Cheese. Use enough Margarine so that you will be able to form your Stuffing into ball which will not fall apart.
(2) Form your Stuffing into balls.
(3) Rub a little Margarine over a baking tray so that your Stuffing Balls won’t stick.
(4) Add your Stuffing Balls to the tray and place in the fridge to harden for 15 minutes.
(5) Press your thumb into the centre of each Stuffing ball and press a piece of Cheese into the middle.
(6) Roll in your hands to close the Cheese in.
(7) Roast in the oven for 20 minutes at 180C.

The Cheese should soften slightly but if you are using a melting Cheese don’t cook for too long or the Cheese will run out.
