<<< Well the main theme is Love, since it is our Hearts Revel, there for
something that is exotic... >>>
I think you said you had your revel this past weekend. But for a
future event with a similar thing, how about serving... hearts.
There are several period recipes in this file that use various hearts
as an ingredient:

Here is a period recipe for heart. It's not originally for deer
heart, but
I expect it would work, although you might want to increase the boiling
time.
Corat
Curye on Inglysch p. 100 (Forme of Cury no. 14)
Take the noumbles of calf, swyne, or of shepe; perboile hem and kerue
hem
to dyce. Cast hem in gode broth and do therto erbes, grene chybolles
smale
yhewe; seeth it tendre, and lye with yolkes of eyren. Do therto verious,
safroun, powdour douce and salt, and serue it forth.
1 lb calf heart
1 10 oz can conc. beef broth + 1 can water
"herbs": 4 oz spinach
4 oz turnip greens
6 oz scallions
8 egg yolks
1/4 c verjuice
12 threads saffron
"powder douce": 2 t sugar, 2 t cinnamon, 1/2 t ginger
1 t salt
Parboil heart in 4 c water: bring water to boil, add heart, bring
back to
boil, total time about 4 minutes. Drain. Cut heart in 1/2"-1" cubes. Put
with broth and chopped washed greens, simmer about 20 minutes. Stir in
beaten egg yolks, turn off heat. Add verjuice, saffron (crushed into
water), spices, salt, and serve it forth.
Numbles means innards. We suspect the title of the recipe is derived
from
the French word for "heart" and therefore use heart, but it is also good
made with kidney.
