Stuffed Heart

Submitted by Tara1183

"I use this for venison, it is really good if you arent fussy about innards. Almost just like a roast. Please make sure you dont use baler twine treated with linseed oil in error of cooking twine. I did that once and ruined the whole meal."

Very good! Used for Venison. Be sure to tie quite tight as the heart shrinks a bit. I don't care for sage so switched it out for Savory.
