BH Question

[ewolfe315]

Can I substitute veal heart for beef heart?? Comes from a small calve as compared to a steer. Anybody use it before?

I used to use calf heart because it was what was available to me. The cleaning is much more time consuming and it seems to me that the yeild was much lower.

We used veal the last time we made BH, it "is" Beef Heart after all. I agree with Liz, a lot of work for not much gain. The good news is there isn't as much fat to trim, but make no mistake, there is still a lot of fat.

Thanks Liz and Polar Bear

The only reason I ask is because my wife picked up a little over a pound of it at the local grocery store and they trimmed all the fat off of it and sliced it for her.

And just as you stated it's the only available heart around unless I was to buy a 30 pound box of BH, which would be to much for my needs.

Thanks
