Florida Strawberries with Duck Hearts

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat your grill, open flame cooker, or griddle to medium-high heat. If using a griddle, leave one burner off to create a cooler zone for indirect cooking.

2. 2

   Hull the strawberries, keeping them whole if possible, and thread them onto skewers.

3. 3

   Place the strawberries over the heat and cook until slightly softened with light char marks. Remove and allow to cool slightly.

4. 4

   Trim any tough or undesirable pieces from the duck hearts. Lightly oil them, season generously, and thread them onto skewers.

5. 5

   Chop the cooled strawberries and place them in a bowl. Add the balsamic glaze, mint, basil, and cracked black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

6. 6

   Cook the duck hearts over medium-high heat, turning frequently until cooked through. If cooking over live fire, finish them directly over the embers for extra char and flavor.

7. 7

   Warm the tortillas briefly, then cut them into wedges or triangles.

8. 8

   To assemble, spoon a small amount of the strawberry mixture onto each tortilla wedge. Top with half of a duck heart and garnish with additional cracked black pepper and fresh herbs if desired.

9. 9

   Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately.
