How To Make Grilled Honey and Chipotle Glazed Lamb Hearts, Red Potato Salad, and Cheesy Jalapeño Sweet Corn Fritters



Preparing the Lamb Hearts Marinade

Slice lamb hearts into rings and marinate in a mixture of honey, ketchup, dark rum, chipotle paste, salt, and pepper. Let them soak up the flavors for at least 20 minutes.

Making the Barbecue Sauce

Reduce rum and honey in a saucepan, then whisk in ketchup, pickling liquid, and chipotle paste. Finish with butter for a rich, tangy sauce perfect for basting.

Crafting the Red Potato Salad

Combine pickling liquid, white wine vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Toss with blanched red potatoes, cornichons, roasted green bell pepper, and fennel for a refreshing side.

Creating the Cheesy Jalapeño Sweet Corn Fritters

Mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add water to form a batter, then fold in cheddar, sweet corn, and jalapeños. Fry until golden and crispy.

Cooking the Lamb Hearts

Grill marinated lamb hearts on skewers, basting with barbecue sauce until caramelized and cooked through. Serve with extra sauce for dipping.

Ingredients & Substitutions

  • Lamb Hearts: Substitute with chicken hearts or beef skewers for a different protein.
  • Chipotle Paste: Use smoked paprika for a milder heat.
  • Cornichon Pickling Liquid: Replace with apple cider vinegar for a similar tang.
  • White Cheddar: Swap with Monterey Jack for a milder cheese flavor.

Tips & Suggestions

  • Marinade Time: Allow lamb hearts to marinate longer for deeper flavor.
  • Fritter Texture: Ensure oil is hot enough to achieve a crispy exterior.
  • Sauce Consistency: Adjust thickness by reducing longer or adding more pickling liquid.

Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
Lamb heart marinade: Pat the Lamb Hearts (3) dry and slice into ¾-inch rings. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Honey (3 Tbsp), Ketchup (2 Tbsp), Dark Rum (2 Tbsp), Chipotle Chili Puree (1 Tbsp), Salt (1 tsp), and Ground Black Pepper (1 pinch). Add the lamb hearts and toss to coat completely. Let the hearts marinate for at least 20 minutes.
step 2
BBQ sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, combine the Dark Rum (4 Tbsp) and Honey (3 Tbsp). Bring the mixture to a boil and let cook until reduced by half. Reduce the heat to medium and whisk in the Ketchup (1/3 cup), Pickle Juice (4 Tbsp), and Chipotle Chili Puree (2 Tbsp). Continue cooking until the sauce is thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Taste and adjust for seasoning with the Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste). Remove the pan from the heat and slowly whisk in the Butter (3 Tbsp) until completely incorporated.
step 3
Potato salad: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Pickle Juice (2 Tbsp), White Wine Vinegar (1 Tbsp), Honey (1 tsp), Salt (to taste), and Ground Black Pepper (to taste). Add the Red Potato (1), Cornichons (4), Green Bell Pepper (1/2), and Fennel Bulb (1/4). Toss to coat completely.
step 4
Fritters: Heat a large heavy bottom pot over medium heat with 1 quart of Canola Oil (as needed) to 350℉. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Cornmeal (2/3 cup), All-Purpose Flour (1/2 cup), Baking Powder (1 tsp), Granulated Sugar (1 tsp), and Salt (1 tsp). Slowly whisk in the Water (3/4 cup) until a thick batter begins to form. Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for 10 minutes. Fold in the Shredded White Cheddar Cheese (1/3 cup), Sweet Corn (2 Tbsp), and Pickled Jalapeño Peppers (2 Tbsp) to the batter until completely incorporated. Use a 1-ounce scoop to portion the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes. Remove the fritters to a paper towel lined plate and season with additional salt.
step 5
Cook the lamb: Place a grill pan over high heat. Alternatively, preheat your grill to high. Thread the marinated lamb hearts onto 6-inch bamboo skewers. Place the skewers on the grill pan or grates. Cook until they begin to caramelize, then flip and continue cooking, basting with the barbecue sauce until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
step 6
Serve the skewers with additional barbecue sauce, potato salad and fritters.
