If you've only ever thought of chicken hearts as pet food or something to skewer and grill, you're in for a surprise. Ground chicken hearts make an exceptionally rich, deeply savory ragu with a flavor that falls somewhere between chicken thigh meat and ground beef. They're muscular rather than organ-like, so they don't have the strong mineral flavor that many people associate with liver.
A small amount of bacon provides just enough fat to enrich the sauce without dominating. The tomatoes lend body and sweetness, and a little milk balances any acidity. The result is a silky, slow-simmered ragu that's hearty enough for a cold winter evening but just as welcome tossed with fresh pasta on a summer patio.
Serve it with freshly cooked pasta, plenty of freshly grated Parmesan, and maybe a glass of robust red wine.
