Favorite way to prepare deer heart?
-
I have one in the freezer, I have been wanting to make it like Steve Renellia makes his. Sliced thin fried in oil with onions.
-
I’m asking the group for your favorite ways to eat deer heart. I am going to make sure I save deer hearts from now on unless we blow it up…which has been known to happen quite a bit. Lots of North Dakota kill shots from our hunting group.

Like bocephus I like it stuff, I use wild rice, fry it for appetizers. The liver we use to make liver sausage, I like to fry it up but I can eat only so much liver by myself, the sausage goes quicker.

+1 on the method used by bocephus and cdavis.
Deer heart is very good. We secretly served some to a friend and told him it was steak. He claimed he never ate organ meats, but he scarfed it down and had seconds.
I like deer liver and onions. Not much different than beef liver IMO, but somewhat different than pork liver.
We use deer liver with pork trim and pork fat to make braunschweiger with good results.
The gut pile gets a little smaller every year. lol -
+1 on HerbcoFood following the MeatEater crew on this one. There are numerous video’s of theirs where they prepare offal and organs.
-
bocephus liver is ok once in a while but I have to be in the mood for it. I do like liver sausage though or some braunschwieger.
-
ND Mike do you make your own liver sausage and if you do would you share your recipe? I am also from ND and have been looking for a recipe that is more course than braunschweiger
fisherman43 I have not but I want to! I have had some from a local meat shop in Bismarck. 3BE Meats that I like.

ND Mike I know that the meat dept at SuperVaue in New Salem and Hazen used to make it but I dont think those people would be around anymore

fisherman43 processhead I believe that processhead has made liver sausage. However, I’m not sure if he posted the recipe. processheadprocesshead REGULAR CONTRIBUTORS Jun 20, 2021, 2:16 PM

fisherman43 Look for recipes called “German Grobe Leberwurst”.

Could you use it with other offals and make a cowboy stew? This is what they do down here with pig parts when they do a “boucherie”

So deer heart and liver are about as far as I have gone. I might have tried deer tongue once, but I don’t routinely harvest it off the deer since the effort outweighs the reward.
In Scotland they prepare haggis. The recipes I have seen usually include sheep lungs or “lights” along with heart, liver, oats and blood served in a sheep’s stomach.
If you are doing it right, the lungs are usually an unusable casualty when you shoot a deer with a rifle. With a clean pass through bow shot, the lungs could probably be salvaged.
We talk big about making deer haggis during cocktail hour at deer camp, but I guess we aren’t drinking enough or something, cuz we just never have dug that deep into the gut pile. We are all bow hunters so we could technically be salvaging some edible lungs. Still, they are LUNGS.

Haggis is a great idea!!! I would eat it but who else. In my family my oldest son would give it the good ol’ college try but I would end up with the rest of it.
