Instructions
Step 1
Slit the pork heart lengthwise and remove large blood vessels and films. Rinse with running water, try to remove blood clots as much as possible.
Step 2
Place a pot of water on a fire. If you plan to boil vegetables in broth from under the heart, put a full kettle on the other burner.
Step 3
Put pieces of offal in boiling water. No matter how well you wash your heart, there will be a lot of foam from the coagulated protein. Boil your heart for ten minutes. Remove it from the broth and pour over boiled water from the kettle. Place on a plate.
Step 4
Drain the dirty broth, wash the pan from the stuck foam around the edges. Pour in a fresh batch of boiling water from the kettle. Season with salt to taste. Place the heart in a saucepan and continue cooking.
Step 5
Remove the emerging foam with a slotted spoon. Check periodically so that the heart does not stick to the bottom of the pot, use a spoon to hook it up and turn it over.
Step 6
Cook the pork heart for about two hours. Half an hour before cooking, put a peeled small carrot into the broth. If the carrot is large, cut it into large pieces. Add a few black peppercorns, bay leaves, and parsley root. To taste, you can add allspice and the head of onion, freed from the husk.
Step 7
Cool the offal in the broth. The heart is covered in air with a dark, windy crust.
Step 8
Transfer the heart to a bowl and use it straight away for cooking. If you put the cooked heart in the refrigerator, then store it in a container with a tight lid or cover with cling film.
Step 9
Strain the remaining broth. Cook leeks, potatoes, cabbage, beans on it. Serve cooked vegetables with chopped pork heart. Sprinkle chopped herbs over the dish. Serve the sauce separately.
