Preparation

Sauté the onion and garlic; as soon as they turn golden, add the offal (heart, lung, liver, spleen, kidney) cut into pieces and the herbs; occasionally, during cooking, pour in the wine and vinegar, waiting for them to evaporate. Once everything is well browned, serve hot. Optionally, add some peeled tomatoes.

Tips
If you want to enhance the flavor of the offal, be sure to sauté them well over high heat, so they caramelize slightly and develop a more intense taste before adding the wine and vinegar.
Trivia
The offal of lamb, pork, or veal is traditionally used in many regional Italian cuisines, where it represents a way to value every part of the animal, reducing waste.
