We get a lot of questions about our chicken and duck hearts. They aren’t everyday table fare and if you’re not used to seeing them it can be an interesting sight.
We have written about them before in a post about yakitori, which is a Japanese chicken skewer. It’s an easy recipe and a good way to get familiar with using hearts as a main ingredient. This works well as a grilled appetizer and the novelty of it is always fun during a gathering or party. You can check that post and recipe out here.
A lot of our friends have let us know that they buy the inexpensive chicken and duck hearts as a treat for their dog. But they’re not just for Fido! They are packed with protein, Omega 6 fatty acids, Vitamin A, Vitamin B-12, Iron, Zinc, and have a low Glycemic load.
The heavy iron flavor is often times what people are the most deterred by, but a recipe like the following one is an easy way to incorporate it into the dish and enhance the other flavors, so it blends the iron into it and comes out delicious.
