Venison Heart, Liver, and Kidney (Offal Food Recipes)

Deer heart, liver, kidney, and even trotters - these offal food recipes maximize your antelope, elk, moose, or deer meat.

Cooking with deer organs may seem unusual, but these recipes have earned approval from me, my wife, and our 9-year-old daughter.

I’m passionate about nose-to-tail eating and whole-animal cookery. Too often, hunters leave nutritious meat in the field for coyotes. Instead, we can bring it home to feed family and friends.

Offal has nourished people for centuries. These recipes aim to inspire hunters to fully utilize and appreciate the animals we hunt each fall.

Whether it's a pan-fried deer heart, this deer liver and onions, or deviled kidneys, you'll find offal food recipes that are easy to prepare for the novice home cook.
