BEEF HEART EN MOLE

Beef Heart is inexpensive and lean, but it's unusual to find in the grocery. My recipe is the only version I know of that is southwest style, in fact, this is fusion cuisine, because this is not an authentic southwest recipe. Mole adds a wonderful richness to this dish. You might want to make a pan of cornbread, it's great with this. Serve with red wine, and a salad of jicama, cabbage, and celery.

My husband owns a Mexican restaurant, so I'm always in the kitchen trying out new things. This recipe is a big hit with our customers! If you like it spicy, just add more hot sauce. I've even tried it with diced jalapenos and it's fabulous! I like to serve this dish with warm flour tortillas.
