You may get 2 or 3 large hearts for this weight or several smaller
ones. Whatever the size, they will be slashed; this is normal. Wash
the hearts and trim away waste - fat, membrane, gristle and arteries.
Soak in lightly salted water for 10 minutes then rinse, drain and dry
well. Chop the onion finely and soften it in 1 oz butter. Away from
the heat stir in the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, 4 tablespoons parsley
and lots of salt and pepper. Bind with the egg and milk. Use the
mixture to stuff the heart cavities, and secure the openings with
toothpicks or cocktail sticks ~ there is no need to make perfect
closures.  Whizz the tomatoes in a blender, stir in the vinegar and add
enough  stock to make up to 1 pint.  Dust the hearts thoroughly with
the  well-seasoned flour.  Melt 1 oz butter in a flameproof casserole,
stir in the leftover flour and let it brown a little.  Blend in the
tomato mixture and make a smooth, bubbling hot sauce. Lay the  prepared
hearts in the sauce and tuck the bay leaves among them.  Cover with
greaseproof paper and the lid, and cook at 325 F (160 C)  gas mark 3
for 1 hour. Turn the hearts gently and continue cooking  for 1 to 1-1/2
hours more until meat is beautifully tender.  Transfer the hearts to a
warmed serving dish.  Stir the mustard into  the sauce, add salt and
pepper to taste - and carefully blend in the  yoghurt if liked. Pour
the sauce over the hearts, scatter lavishly  with chopped parsley and
serve with boiled potatoes or noodles.  Source: Philippa Davenport in
