 GRILLED, MARINATED CALF’S HEART
This is a wonderfully simple, delicious dish, the heart not, as you might imagine, tough as old boots due to all the work it does, but in fact firm and meaty but giving.

Instructions
  1. Trim the heart of anything that looks like sinew (this is easy enough to spot) and excess fat (which tends to be around the open top of the heart), and remove any blood clots lurking in the ventricles. Slice the heart open so you can lay it flat and complete the process. Then cut it into pieces approximately 1 inch square, up to ¼ inch thick; if the flesh suddenly gets thick, simply slice it in half horizontally through the meat.
  2. Toss the pieces of heart in the balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper and thyme. Leave to marinate for 24 hours.
  3. Now for cooking you need a cast-iron griddle or a barbecue. Get it very hot and apply the heart: it will take about 3 minutes each side. Serve with a spirited salad of your choice, e.g. watercress, shallot and bean, or raw leek.
