One of the best ways to prepare a heart is to stew it in a sauce. Since the heart is a loaded muscle in animals, it therefore has coarse fibers and tough tissues that require longer heat treatment. Therefore, today we will cook a beef heart with onions and garlic in sour cream-mustard sauce. A properly cooked stewed heart contains 10 times more deficient vitamin B12 than regular meat. In addition, at the time of preparation, the specific smell of boiled offal is practically not felt.
Heart stewed with sour cream, onions and garlic is a nutritious and satisfying hot second dish. If you have a ready-made boiled heart, you can cook a dish very quickly. Mustard is added to the dish, along with sour cream, which gives a piquant spiciness. But if you wish, you can add a little more tomato paste, season with ground paprika and other spices to taste. Moreover, you can buy not a whole heart, but a half or even a quarter. It turns out the dish is unusually tasty and tender, and most importantly healthy. Use the dish as a daily lunch or dinner. You can serve it with any side dish: mashed potatoes, stewed vegetables, cereals or pasta.
