Cooking Pork Heart

BEFORE COOKING:

Remove veins, arteries, and fat from the pork heart, cut it in half, and rinse thoroughly.

COOKING:

Place it into boiling water. Cook for 1.5 hours. If necessary, add water to keep the meat covered at all times. If making broth, skim off the foam (a brownish scum formed from coagulated protein) during the first 10–15 minutes – this will keep the broth clear. After 20 minutes from boiling, you can add a whole peeled and washed onion. Add your favorite spices, such as pepper, marjoram, allspice, and bay leaf. Finally, season with salt to taste. Cook covered. The pork heart is done when a knife or fork goes through it easily.

SERVING SUGGESTION:

Serve the pork heart with boiled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or cereals, seasoning to taste.

Enjoy your meal!
