My mother puts them in the slow-cooker all day with some onions, and
then when they're all juicy, she adds pastina (tiny Italian pasta) and
cooks some more until the pastina is done. I don't like the gizzards
themselves, but the pasta/onions/gizzard broth is *delightful*, and I
can eat bowls of pastina prepared that way.
