I saw a recipe on TV that was in a nose to tail episode then remembered I had a packet in freezer. So it went this way. Cut them into strips.I poached them in some water,celery stalk,carrot,parsley till I figured they were tender.Drained them,patted dry.Then fried some onions,bacon & garlic in EVO/BUTTER till coloured added chopped hearts.Then added some sherry vinegar,white wine,french mustard,pinch of sugar .Bubbled it ,pinch of cayenne then some cream.Lots of chopped parsley then its done. Pretty tasty. Cant load photos just this minute but you are all asleep anyway.Need some computer support.
 
I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures, Moikel! 

Your cream sauce sounds a lot like a "deviled" sauce, which seems to work well on strongly flavored organs like kidneys too.  How did you find the taste and texture of the heart?  I've never poached heart before, usually just give it a quick sear and serve rare to medium-rare.

Hope you have a great evening!

Got internet issues here not good for blood pressure. Cant get toolbar to download so no photos still.They were called devilled in the recipe,it was that River Cottage lifestyle/cookery show out of theUK. I just cooked it as I remembered it.I poached them because he did.Cant say I was that mad about it,I braised them stuffed before ,still a little pink .I think I would prefer a bit of chewiness . Sauce was great,I had sherry vinegar on hand,great ingredient but apple cider would be fine.I dont do lamb kidney but dont mind veal kidney,after ordering it by accident in France years back. Lot of older school cooks in this country cook the crap out of kidney & liver & turned people off it. I like them pink .I like heart braised best turns out really soft,big bold red wine sauce. Really cheap here too.We are heading into what we call winter, nothing by US standards but thats ox tail time! Got an old old school Roman dish in the pipeline. Celery,pine nuts ,raisins,wine,tomato paste vibe.
 
Hey Moikel,

Yeah, almost nothing is more frustrating than a blinking internet problem. I feel your pain.

Show pics of this recipe whenever you're able to.  I'm also very interested in your braised heart and Roman oxtail dishes....please post on those when you make them next time.  Oxtail is absolutely fantastic!

I liked it but I would just panfry it next time. There is a Peruvian dish that uses alpaca heart or beef heart.Sort of a street food thing chargrilled on skewers,red wine vinegar style sauce. Got  bit of consumer resistance when I  ran it past the butchers daughter(girlfriend) .

Might soften her up with oxtail first.
