Heart

Heart of Tope is firm muscle for thin grilling or gentle braising. Mild iron note when fresh. A nose-to-tail piece. As a heart section of offal, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Keep tope heart iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque. Frying, grilling, and curries suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame dense mild white flesh.
