THE MEAT GUIDE

Chicken Hearts

─ Coração de Galinha

A LOW CARB MEAT WHICH IS HIGH IN PROTEIN

Time to be getting over your fear of strange food: chicken hearts are mighty tasty little morsels and very nutritious, too! Although the heart is an organ, it’s also just a giant muscle. Taste-wise, it’s simply a more flavourful version of chicken meat, and best eaten medium rare, still slightly pink in the middle. A genuine Brazilian flavour!

The hearts are thread onto skewers and basted with seasoning before being seared over coals. Even the pickiest of eaters will not be able to tell these tasty bites from anything other than chewy little meaty chunks. Try them with salad, sautéed vegetables, or all on their own!
