Lamb's Heart Casserole

- Take four lamb’s hearts and, using kitched scissors, remove white sinew and fat (especially the valves). Wash the hearts thoroughly under running water.
- Use a large, ovenproof casserole dish. Cut up streaky bacon or ends of bacon and fry gently in a few tablespoons of oil until the fat starts to run. Briefly remove the bacon bits with a slotted spoon and turn up the heat to maximum; add the hearts one by one, browning them quickly and then removing them.
- Once all the hearts are browned, add a chopped onion over a medium heat and fry until golden. Add the meat back into the dish, add a splash of balsamic vinegar, and then pour in water or stock to cover. Turn the heat back up to maximum and bring the casserole to the boil.
- Add in salt, pepper and a bay leaf. Place a lid on the casserole and place in a very low oven for three hours (80-90ºC). Hearts should shrink and become very tender. Serve with potatoes, rice, pasta or bread.
