Baked Heart

Ingredients

• beef's heart
• 1/2 loaf of stale bread
• 1 teaspoonful of salt
• 1/4 teaspoonful of pepper
• 1/4 teaspoonful of chopped parsley
• 1/4 teaspoonful of sweet herbs
• 1 onion chopped
• 1 ounce of sweet drippings
• 5 cents' worth of parsnips scraped and washed

Instructions

Thoroughly wash a beef's heart, (cost ten cents,) stuff it with the bread, (cost two cents,) moistened with warm water and seasoned with the salt, pepper, chopped parsley and sweet herbs, onion, and sweet drippings (cost of all these two cents;) lay it in a dripping pan with the parsnips, and bake in a moderate oven about two hours. It may be baked in an earthen jar, like the oxtail stew, and all its goodness will be saved.

Parsnips are exceedingly nutritious and cheap, but if they are not liked potatoes may be substituted for them.

The entire dinner with bread and butter will cost about twenty-five cents.
