1. Dice beef heart into uniform, kibble-sized pieces for even cooking and easy eating.
2. Prepare vegetables by peeling and cubing sweet potato, slicing carrot, and chopping green beans into manageable pieces.
3. Combine diced beef heart, cubed sweet potato, sliced carrot, chopped green beans, and low-sodium broth in large pot.
4. Bring mixture to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes until vegetables start to tender.
5. Stir in quinoa and continue simmering 15-20 minutes until quinoa is fluffy and vegetables are tender but not mushy.
6. Cool completely before serving—this allows flavors to meld and ensures safe serving temperature.

Notes:

• Always use fresh, quality beef heart from reputable sources
• Amber prefers this with a brothlike consistency and visible texture pieces
• Keep extra low-sodium broth on hand to adjust consistency as quinoa absorbs liquid

Storage Tips:

• Store in refrigerator in airtight containers for up to 4 days
• Freeze individual portions for up to 3 months—perfect for meal planning
• Don’t leave out on counter—organ meat and vegetables spoil quickly
