Hjerter i flødesovs

This Danish classic couples pig or beef hearts and a creamy, flavorful sauce. The hearts should be thoroughly cleaned and are usually sliced before they are shortly seared and then braised in a sauce that is enriched with sautéed onions, which provide the essential sweetness. The dark, rich sauce is often toned down with a splash of whipped cream, or it can additionally be thickened with a flour roux. Hjerter i flødesovs, translated as hearts and cream sauce, is typically accompanied by mashed potatoes.
