Beef heart kebabs for women at home

Heart on a skewer is the friendliest way to cook an organ meat, and it looks like nothing to be nervous about. Cubed heart, threaded between peppers and onion, grilled over fire, tastes like lean steak with a little char on the edges. Nobody at the table has to know it is an organ meat until after the first bite, and by then it does not matter.

Cut it and marinade it

Ask the butcher for a whole heart, trimmed, and cut it into cubes about an inch across. A quick marinade does the work: olive oil, lemon, garlic, salt, and a pinch of cumin, half an hour on the counter. Heart is lean, so the oil matters; without it the cubes dry out over the fire. Beef heart at home for women covers the cut and the first cook, and organ meats at the butcher for women covers what to ask for at the counter.

Grill it fast

Thread the cubes onto skewers with peppers and onion, and grill over high heat for two or three minutes a side. Heart goes tough when it sits too long on the fire, so fast is the rule. Serve it straight off the grill with flatbread and something sharp, pickled onion or lemon. Organ meats for dinner for women has the rest of the table covered.

Start with heart

Start with heart before liver. It is the gateway organ for a reason: familiar taste, forgiving cook, and on a skewer it looks like any other kebab. A food is not a drug, and dose, diet, and starting point differ, but a skewer of heart is a good place to begin.
