    Yea, I’m a fan of parts. They are on top of goat chops. I do hearts almost every cook. Inexpensive and yummy appetizer.

    I've only had chix hearts a couple of times. Need to change that. They were delicious the times I've had them.

    Looks fantastic! I lived in Brazil for a bit back in the 90’s, so those chicken hearts hit close to home…delicious!

    I have had them at a local place that shared their recipe. They are even better on a BGE https://texasdebrazil.com/recipes/grilled-chicken-hearts-coracao-de-galinha/

    Great looking cooks, and welcome. 

    Would love to hear what you’re cooking in each pic. 
    Top pic is purple carrots rolled in olive oil salt and fresh thyme, hearts with coarse salt, and rosemary salt and pepper on goat loin chops. All cooked direct on the flat side of an xl cast iron grid. Second is chicken with cumin, paprika, and wet chipotle and roasted poblanos. Once the chicken is cool it gets pulled and chopped with the peppers and the bones boil overnight so the next day I can make green chicken chili. A couple different stir fry pics, and some padthai, a whole Cornell chicken (look up the recipe, so good). Peppers stuffed with chorizo and rice direct. Some toppings for ramen: direct shrimp, flanken ribs and baby bok choi all in oyster sauce. And stuffed pork tenderloin with anchovy, feta, olive salad, and fontina served with buttered baby carrots in the wok. 
    Love how you roll. Wondered if those might be chicken hearts. Pretty cool to see goat highlighted here as well. The Cornell chicken recipe looks good. May have to give that a go. 

    Definitely some off-the-beaten-track cooks. Keep ‘em coming!
