An ambrosial (and inexpensive!) blend of flavors and textures using the lowly chicken gizzard to brilliant effect. My mother used to make this fairly often when I was growing up, and it's always been a favorite. It's an easy recipe, with virtually no prep work, but unfortunately not a quick one to cook. It's well worth the effort and time involved, though - and it tastes even better the day after, so don't be afraid to make it the day before you need it and reheat it. Ingredients:
2 lbs chicken gizzards |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 onions, sliced |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
1 cup white wine |
1 cup tomato sauce |
1 tomato, seeded, peeled, and chopped |
1 teaspoon salt |
pepper, to taste |
1/2 teaspoon oregano |
1/2 teaspoon thyme |
1/2 teaspoon marjoram |
1/2 teaspoon rosemary |
1/2 cup chicken broth |
Directions:
1. Brown gizzards in oil and butter. 2. Add onions and garlic and brown. 3. Add wine and tomato sauce, stir and cook 2 minutes. 4. Add tomato and rest of seasonings. 5. Simmer covered for 1-1/2 hours. 6. Add chicken broth and cook 1-1/2 hours more. 7. Serve over rice or buttered noodles, unless you are gluten sensitive, of course. It might do well with something like quinoa, but I haven't tested that. |
