About Lamb heart
Lamb heart is the edible muscular heart of a sheep, sold whole or cut into portions, often with connective tissue and internal chambers trimmed. It is dark red and firmer and leaner in texture than many familiar lamb cuts.
It may be grilled, braised, or cut into pieces for other cooked uses. Its flavour is distinctly savoury, and cooking time affects tenderness. Comparisons should distinguish raw from cooked heart and note whether it has been trimmed, as preparation changes the edible portion.
