I've decided to try this recipe substituting a porter beer instead of a red wine. Simply because I play around brewing both, but finding that I preffer my reds in a glass,..... and well,.... I've a lot of alternatives! And am using Garlic as well as adding a tablespoon of whole pepper corns. REduced to 1 potato and added rutabaga. I know,... I'm ALWAYS spinning my recipe's,.... I do that with my brew too! Still gotta finish cooking and sample before my rating it. - 02 Jul 2017
Although obviously an organ, heart is not organ meat. It is a muscle. I soak it in cold, salted water for about an hour before cooking (I can't remember why, I just learned to do that when preparing heart). I too added garlic. If you don't have red wine, red wine vinegar works well too. I've made it with apple cider vinegar once in a pinch and it was good. Also, just about any root vegetable works well. - 21 Feb 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
My husband loved it! The only suggestion would be to cook the heart at least 90 minutes, rather than 60. The prep time for cleaning the heart took more than 10 minutes. - 31 Jul 2000 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
