Stuffed and slow-cooked heart was common everyday fare in Norwegian households, and here Erken uses the classic combination of apple and prunes, which lends sweetness and acidity to the lean offal meat.
Clean the heart
Split the heart lengthwise and place it in cold water until the blood has drawn out. Remove blood remnants and the large veins, and dry the heart well in a kitchen towel.
Stuff
Peel and finely cut the apple. Pour boiling water over the prunes, let them soak a little, and cut them fine. Mix the apple and prunes and stuff the mixture into the heart.
Tie up
Tie the heart up well with string so the stuffing stays inside. Sprinkle with salt.
Brown and simmer
Brown the heart well on all sides in butter. Pour in 3 dl meat stock, cover with a lid and let it simmer gently for about 2 hours, until the heart is tender. Turn it and baste with the stock as it cooks.
Serving
Remove the string, slice the heart and serve with the reduced stock as sauce.
Measurements are modernized (3 del. = 3 dl, gr. = g). "Blanched prunes" is described as prunes placed in boiling water. Cooking time and temperature are specified as slow simmering under a lid, and string is retained as the tying method.
