Remove the sinew and cut the heart into slices of 3cm x 3cm.
Cure in 2 parts salt, 1 part brown sugar for 45 minutes.
Rinse the hearts thoroughly and place them in a bag with the oil or fat for about 15 minutes before confiting.
Cook the hearts in the oil at 55°C for 15 minutes and rest at room temperature.
Grill and carve before serving.
Combine all ingredients in a blender until smooth.
Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth.
Roast until tender.
Peel and slice thinly.
Dress in kombucha.
