Deviled Duck Hearts
Description
This recipe dusts duck hearts with a mix of flour, salt, cayenne, and dry mustard, creating a spiced crust before sautéing them in duck fat over medium-high heat. The hearts cook quickly, rolling in the pan for even browning. Grated onion, Worcestershire sauce, and duck or chicken broth are added to the pan, combining with browned bits to form a rich glaze that coats the hearts as it reduces. The parsley is stirred in just before serving to add freshness.
The finished hearts have a tender texture with a pronounced seasoning and a slightly spicy, savory glaze. Serving them with peppery greens like watercress and crusty bread balances richness and adds textural contrast, making for a distinctive dish that highlights offal's flavor in an approachable way.
