lulucandoit! Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I have the opportunity to get a grass fed beef heart this week - must order it by tomorrow night to get it on Thursday. I have never seen one, much less cooked one. However, the nutritional profile is outstanding, so I am totally game. All the recipes I have found involve dredging pieces in flour and frying a la chicken fried steak. I have stopped eating nuts, so nut flours are out. Does anyone have good beef heart recipes that do not involve flour? Truly, this is a question I never expected to ask in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted February 18, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 18, 2013 Coconut is a fruit, not a nut, so maybe you could use coconut flour? Or tapioca starch? I don't know why I bought a bag of tapioca starch once, but you can use it like flour for dredging purposes. Tapioca starch is from yucca root. When I cook chicken hearts, I don't dredge in anything. I just cut them into bite-size pieces and cook with some chopped onion and spices with a generous splash of apple cider vinegar. I usually eat them over wilted greens with a handful of dried cranberries for tartness. I'm sorry I've never worked with beef heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookluvingbabe Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I replied in the other thread. I just bake it at 350 for 70 minutes with salt and olive oil. Seriously yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thrilled to hear that coconut is a fruit. Part of the reason I have delayed going full force AIP is preparing myself to give up coconut products. Bookluvingbabe, thank you. That sounds seriously easy, which is right up my alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
