Anyone got some good offal recipes? Pies? Meatloafs? Stews? Anything like that with just a few ingredients
I once made beef bourgiungnon using beef heart. Biggest issue I had was trimming out the fat and silverskin. Otherwise it came out pretty well, albeit the meat wasn't as soft as I thought it would be.
I have a black bear heart in my freezer.
Is this going to be on the same level as deer/beef/chicken hearts or should I approach it differently?

I like heart sliced thinly, marinaded in soy, garlic, lime juice and honey then grilled quickly over direct heat. Skewer them for a nice presentation.

The silverskin you do need to cut out. The fat isn't a big deal because it will melt out and you can skim it off the top of the stew while it cooks.
As for the softness/texture, that's a matter of cooking time. If it's not as tender as you like then cook longer.

Yeah, I left it in the oven for about 3.5 hours at 350F. I probably could have left it in an hour longer to make the heart softer.
Is it called Offal because it's fucking awful?
chinks.

offal (n.)
late 14c., perhaps a translation of Middle Dutch afval. "waste parts, refuse," from off + fall (v.); the notion being that which "falls off" the butcher's block;
In other words, yes.

Like any other cut of meat, offal can be awful if prepared poorly, but it can be excellent if done properly. That is, unless you have the mental capacity of a 4 year old child who thinks, "ewwww, gross! I'm not eating that - it was inside an animal!"

>Like any other cut of meat
The difference is that any moron can make a nice steak tasty, whereas it usually takes a lot more effort and/or skill to make organ meats tasty.
I'm not knocking offal, BTW. I love it. I'm just stating the obvious regarding preparation.

Sure, you have to research it and experiment, but good information is widely available.

Look up the recipe for liver mush of you like the taste of liver. It goes well as a breakfast meat.
I shot this deer and pan seared the heart in a little duck fat. Was amazing
