Preparation
Step 1
It’s best to use chilled or fresh chicken hearts. These will cook quickly and stay tender. If they were frozen, thaw them in the fridge on the lower shelf.
Step 2
Rinse the hearts under running water. Cut them in half, trim off any fat, and remove membranes or blood clots.
Step 3
Peel and rinse the onions under cold water (this helps reduce eye irritation). Chop them as you prefer – into cubes, half-rings, or strips.
Step 4
Wash the carrots thoroughly with a brush, peel, rinse again, and grate them on a medium or large grater. You can also julienne the carrots if desired.
Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet and sauté the chicken hearts over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
Step 6
Add the chopped carrots and onions to the browned hearts. Sauté together over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft. Adjust cooking time depending on your stove, pan, and how finely ingredients are chopped. Just make sure nothing burns.
Step 7
Add all the sour cream to the skillet. Stir well, reduce heat, season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir again.
Step 8
Pour in water and simmer on low heat for about 25 minutes until the hearts are tender. Check doneness at the end. If needed, add a bit more water and continue simmering.
Step 9
Serve the cooked hearts with your favorite side dish – pasta, potatoes, or rice. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
