tekobo Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 I bought a whole hogget (slightly older lamb) from a farmer friend of @RokDok's last weekend. Knowing that I had asked for lamb's kidney's, the farmer decided that I must like all other offal too. So...he gave me a bag full of lamb's hearts and a couple of lamb's livers. Aaargh. I am squeamish about hearts and much prefer calf's liver to any other liver but I did not want to waste any of the meat I had been given. What to do? Yeah, I know, take the highest risk option and feed it to 20 of my best friends, that's what! The organs were very clean and tidy so I just had to cut off the hard bits of fat and arteries at the top of the hearts, cut them open and clean out the blood before mincing them with a bit of breast meat to introduce some fat. I know, at this stage you are probably shouting, "that looks like what I feed to my dog" but have faith, things get better. I had gone for a Turkish theme so the minced heart meat was mixed with herbs and onion and formed into kofte kebabs. Easier said than done, keeping the damp meat on the skewers even after chilling them in the dry ager. It would have been helpful to grill them using a fish basket but I didn't have one, so they were grilled on a hot plate in the 23 and @RokDok did a sterling job of keeping most of them from crumbling. On to the liver. I sliced it thinly, soaked it in milk and then, just before deep frying, Mrs Rokdok dredged the pieces in a delicious spiced flour. The lamb shoulders (my saving grace if the guests revolted) were cooked for 8 hours at 130C in the 32. The good news is that lamb three ways was a roaring success, even though lamb's liver and heart were new to many, including me! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
