Grilled Heart Salad

• Heart and Marinade
• 1 heart (pig or beef)
• 5 tamarind pods
• 2 cups water
• salt to taste
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salad
• marinated heart
• 1 cucumber, sliced into rounds
• 2 spring onions, diced
• 1/4 cup cilantro, minced
• 1 grapefruit, juiced
• salt

1. To break down a heart: Cut it down the middle and remove the ventricles as well as the valve on top. These will be chewy, you can identify them easily as they are the tubes running through the center of the heart. Once the ventricles have been cut out, slice the heart as thin as possible.
2. For the marinade: Peel the tamarind pods and place in 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil and then reduce by half, break apart the seeds so the tamarind pulp gets into the liquid. Let cool completely. Strain out the seeds and mix all the ingredients together. Pour over the beef heart and refrigerate overnight.
3. Simply grill the heart pieces on medium-high heat for about a minute on each side, developing some nice char. Once grilled, chop into bite size pieces and toss with the other ingredients. Serve.
