Various offal, such as heart, liver, kidneys, are quite often used in the preparation of various fillings. They make pies, small pies and even dumplings. The high demand for these products is explained by the fact that they are very healthy, always available and much cheaper than meat.
Please note that any offal requires special preliminary preparation: the heart must be rinsed well in cold water, then put it in salted water and cook for a long time, it is better to drain the first broth.
It is also better to prepare the dough for the pies in advance, since you will have to spend quite a lot of time, but preparing and frying the pies themselves is very simple and does not take long. All your efforts will pay off completely; your pies will turn out tender, airy and very tasty. And they turn out perfect if they are prepared using kitchen appliances from the Kitchen Aid company

To prepare heart pies, we will need the products indicated in the list. The heart was pre-cooked and cleaned.
We have excellent fresh beef heart. Soak it for half an hour in cold water, then send it to cook. When a knife or fork easily enters the meat, it is ready, remove and cool. We clean off all fat and blood vessels. We leave only the meat, which we grind through a meat grinder.
Finely chop the champignons and sauté.
Finely chop the onion, grate the carrots and send to sauté.
Combine champignons, onions and carrots. We send to the ground heart, salt and pepper to taste.
Let's start preparing the dough. Be sure to sift the flour.
Place the liquid ingredients, eggs and milk into the bowl of the bread machine.
Then add flour, sugar, salt, butter and yeast. Turn on the yeast dough kneading. It will take us 1 hour and 50 minutes.
Divide the finished dough into portions.
Roll each piece into a circle.
Place one and a half tablespoons of filling on each circle. We love it when there is a lot of filling.
We pinch it in the shape of a triangle with one acute corner.
This creates a triangle. We make a dent on one side, after which the pie is shaped like a heart.
Place the pies on a greased baking sheet. Leave in a warm place for 20-25 minutes, allowing them to rise. Then grease with yolk and put in the oven. Bake at 200 degrees ~ 20 minutes.

Preparation
By-products such as heart, liver or lungs are not often in demand. The reason for this lies in the problem: how and what to cook. But this type of meat product is in no way inferior to regular meat, and is often cheaper. Heart pies are one of the options to solve this problem.

Pies filled with boiled beef heart can be baked in the oven or fried in oil. Heart pies should rest for a while under a towel after frying.

3. Add egg yolks and salt to the dough that has doubled in volume. Also put softened butter and all the remaining flour there. Pour in full fat milk. The milk needs to be warmed up a little. The kneaded pie dough should still rise for about two hours.
4. Chop the onion. Fry it in oil. Scroll the boiled beef heart through a meat grinder. Season with salt, add a little broth and pepper to the filling. This way it will be juicier.
The heart is a tasty and nutritious part of beef liver, so pies with it turn out great. Pies with beef heart are useful on the road, for a snack at work, as well as at home, both for an independent meal and as an addition to borscht, soup or broth.
We suggest making pies with beef heart from store-bought yeast puff pastry.

Cooking pies with beef heart
1. Remove the frozen dough from the freezer and let it thaw at room temperature. During the time you prepare the filling, it will defrost completely.
2. Before heat treatment, cut the heart and remove blood clots under running water.
3. Trim the upper vessels, external fat layers and internal tough connective tissues.
4. Cut the prepared heart into cubes with a side of 1 cm.
5. Place the heart cubes in a frying pan with heated vegetable oil and fry. Be careful not to overcook or you will end up with a dark, tough filling. Add salt, add spices and finely chopped chili peppers, add sour cream and simmer over low heat for about 1 hour.
6. Roll out the defrosted dough thinner and cut out circles using a cup of the desired size. Also roll out the trimmings to obtain circles, and so on until the last trimming.
7. Add your favorite chopped herbs to the cooled filling. If the filling turns out dry, add a little more sour cream.
8. Divide the circles in half into top and bottom.
9. Place the bottom circles on the table, put the filling on each, cover the top with the top circle and pinch around the circumference. Make holes in the middle of the top circle of pies with a knife to allow excess steam to escape during baking.
