Seafood in My Heart (Stuffed Beef/Venison Heart)

Submitted by David04

"You can substitute a venison heart as well. The heart is stuffed with a delicious seafood stuffing. It has the texture of a very tender liver but not the harsh liver taste. Very good and tender. Be sure to trim all the fat and all of the membrane that covers the inside and outside of the heart. This will leave you with just lean tender muscle. I have also cheated and just bought a pound of pre-made crab stuffing."
