Lamb hearts are a true nutritional powerhouse. As both a muscle and organ meat, lamb heart offers a wide array of health benefits. Packed with high levels of protein, it contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source. Additionally, lamb heart is rich in B vitamins, providing increased energy levels, and boasts a range of minerals crucial for maintaining optimal body functions.
Preparing lamb heart is similar to cooking beef heart, requiring a small amount of prepping before cooking. Here's how to get started:
Once you have your butchered lamb hearts, you can proceed with the cooking process. We recommend marinating the lamb hearts in olive oil and your choice of spices for approximately two hours. Following the marinade, a quick grill or pan fry for about two minutes per side is all it takes to cook the lamb hearts to perfection. It's important to avoid overcooking the lamb heart to maintain a tender texture.
