Gizzards And Hearts Recipe

How to make it

---

• Rinse meat well under cold water
• Phase One;
• Put a quart or a bit more of lightly salted water into a pot and add the Gizzards, Hearts, Bullion Cubes and Garlic and bring to a boil on the stove top.
• Once the pot boils, reduce heat to a slow simmer and let the meat slowly simmer, uncovered for about an hour or until gizzards are tender. Skim any scum that may rise to the top as the need arises.
• When meat is cooked to tender remove from pot and continue to simmer and reduce the liquid.
• Phase Two;
• Add oil to a large skillet you are able to cover and put on MED heat.
• When oil is hot add the meat and start to brown.
• Once the meat starts to lightly brown add the celery and onion and continue to saute until onions start to caramelize.
• Add Butter to pan and mix well.
• At this time ladle in enough of the broth from Phase One into the pan to deglaze and let it cook down until it is almost gone, ladle in more liquid and repeat
• Once the second batch has reduced all of the way, again add enough of the broth to the pan, 2 cups at least, and add the rice, salt and pepper to your taste and mix well.
• Cover skillet, reduce heat to low and let it simmer until rice is cooked and tender, peaking in every once and a while to give it a stir and add a bit of liquid if needed.
• Your final product should be a pan full of creamy, tender rice and tender, tasty Chicken Innards !
• Note.....
• When I make this for me I add a chopped Jalapeno or two to the frying stage of things and a good healthy shot of Hot Sauce to the final simmering portion. Maybe a little more butter at the end!
• Add whatcha like, there ain't no rules !! Enjoy !
