Buttock's or Calfs Heart Stuffed and Brown Sauce

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare the fire for roasting as described in 'Roasting.'

  2. Wash the bullock's heart thoroughly in salt and water, cleansing all cavities and removing blood.

  3. Rinse the heart in clean water, then dry it thoroughly with a cloth.

  4. Trim off any excess fat from the heart with a sharp knife.

  5. Chop the suet finely, sprinkling a little flour over it to prevent sticking.

  6. Grate the bread crumbs onto a board.

  7. Chop the parsley after washing and drying it.
