Lamb Heart, 1kg

Lamb Heart 1kg is 1kg of lamb hearts – smaller and more delicate than ox heart, with a milder flavour and a slightly softer texture that suits both whole-roasting and grilling. Lamb hearts are one of the most versatile and rewarding of all offal preparations. As a result, they suit stuffing and roasting whole as an impressive centrepiece. Furthermore, the heart-shaped cavity makes each one ideal for filling with a herb and breadcrumb stuffing. In particular, slowly roasted stuffed lamb hearts are one of the most satisfying and economical of all offal preparations.

About Lamb Heart 1kg

We source our offal and speciality cuts from the same small farms and carefully selected suppliers that provide our prime cuts. In particular, quality matters as much for offal as for any other part of the animal. As a result, the freshness, sourcing and handling of these ingredients makes a significant difference to the finished dish. Furthermore, offal from well-raised animals on a natural diet has a cleaner, more delicate flavour than that from intensively reared alternatives. However, offal is among the most perishable of all fresh ingredients. In particular, freshness is the single most important quality indicator for liver, kidney and heart. Additionally, using the whole animal is both ethical and gastronomically rewarding. That commitment to whole-animal cooking drives every sourcing decision we make. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Lamb Heart 1kg From Us

Cooking offal and speciality cuts rewards those willing to learn a few key techniques. In contrast to prime cuts, offal requires a more specific approach but almost always rewards simplicity. As a result, the finest offal preparations are often the quickest. Furthermore, liver, kidney and heart all suit high heat and brief cooking. However, overcooking is the single most common mistake with all offal. In particular, liver and kidney should be pink at the centre when served. Moreover, tongue, brain and sweetbreads need longer, gentler preparation before their final cooking. Additionally, bones and suet are the foundations of the most profound stocks and pastries available to any cook. That breadth of application is what makes this category so rewarding for the curious cook.
