heart. The recipe for this delicacy is distinguished by the relative simplicity of both the components used and the technology itself, however this does not affect the excellent taste.

fried chicken heart
, the recipe of which includes eggplant, mushrooms, apple and greens, is the peak of culinary art, not feasible for every housewife. However, we still try to master it together.
Mushroom Roast
So, we need 1 medium eggplant, 1 green apple, 1 large onion, a pound of fresh champignons, a can of olives, a bunch of dill and cilantro and, of course, the chicken heart itself. The recipe for cooking it is somewhat lengthy, but definitely worth attention. First, cut the mushrooms into cubes or small slices and fry them in a very hot oil so that the champignons do not have time to give the juice.
Add the onion there and do not remove from the heat until it acquires a golden color. Now we put all this in a separate cup, where we chop the chopped greens and peeled apple cut from the skin. In a frying pan, fry the eggplant, crushed and previously soaked in salt, and then add the hearts divided in half. Next up are pre-cooked ingredients and spices to taste. The most delicious recipe for chicken hearts is to add salt, black pepper, rosemary, 2 bay leaves and nutmeg to the dish. Now mix everything, pour a third glass of boiling water and simmer until tender for 5-10 minutes. Upon completion, squeeze out a couple of cloves of garlic for a piquant flavor.
Hearts in a creamy sauce
Another interesting dish of your holiday table can be chicken heart, the recipe for which is based on cream sauce and spicy spices. For it, you need half a kilo of the main by-product, one or two medium onions, half a glass of fat cream (at least 30%) and seasoning of sun-hop. First, wash and clean the hearts of excess fat, fry in a deep
cast-iron pan. Then add the finely chopped onion, salt, pepper, hops, suneli and pour the cream on the dish. We transfer to a slow fire and simmer under a closed lid, stirring from time to time, 30-40 minutes until fully cooked. An excellent side dish for such a dish would be rice, buckwheat or fresh tortillas. As you have already noticed, this is a low-calorie, but very nutritious product - chicken heart, a recipe for the preparation of which you can always create yourself by experimenting with ingredients and sauces. In any case, it will be extremely useful for all members of your family.
