Bought a Beef Heart... What do I do?

I've herd of folks taking it to a restaurant and asking the chef to prepare it. That's where the phrase" Eat your heart out "is derived from.

Has anyone developed an alternative for "cream of --- " soups?

Here's a very simple and quick alternative. The Bisque. For every gallon of liquid in your recipe add 1 cup of uncooked rice. When the rice is cooked, puree the soup and pass through a strainer. Then garnish with reserved Veg. of the themed soup ;IE Florettes, diced tomato,sliced mushroom etc...You'll find a very similar apperance and mouth feel.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 4: The Gauntlet

Ed, I like you faced these challenges last year and as a chef it has not been easy. I have however been able to loose 70 pounds in a year. First, I cut all sugar and as many carbs as possible. Second and most importantly, I wake up 3 hours earlier 5 days a week and work out at the gym. No one can believe I'm doing it ( at 50) . I feel so much better and find that now I still taste everything,just not by the plateful! I'm pulling for you.

Don't know about the OP but I made that Cosentino recipe (slightly simplified) this weekend and it was pretty great. I will cook beef heart from now on. It has a nice beefy flavor, but it's really tender. I ended up with a heart from the supermarket, which was already trimmed and cut into chunks. Certainly made things easier, but I'd like to get one from the grass-fed beef guy at the farmers market. But i have to pre-order, because apparently he never brings them and, like many of us, has no idea what you'd do with them, otehr than feed the dog.

no one has mentioned almond milk, which works wonderfully in "cream of" soups instead of the cream. It is pretty high in fat though, so that's the only downside. But it has a wonderful taste, and is non-dairy.

pureed white beans instead of the potato for more protein and fiber, albeit a very different flavor.

The problem with using substitutes for "cream of _____" is that the dish you're trying to recreate doesn't taste the same. Green bean casserole, for instance, made with another sauce instead of cream of mushroom soup may be good, but it's not the traditional green bean casserole. I think the solution is to avoid those things or make them infrequently.
