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.

Chicken gizzard stew
In fact I bought them in the store as a pack but this time I did not
payed much attention and got a pack with gizzards and hearts as you can see in the images. It's still good it this combination also. As a child my grandmother was buying the gizzards with the chicken and had to clean all the small stones the chicken eats in order to grind the seeds. I don't think it's the case these days when the chicken eat some kind of industrialized paste. Sometimes the gizzards muscle is a bit yellow, then I throw it away.

It is easy indeed to boil the gizzards and you surely don't have to stir so frequently. Sometimes depending on the gizzards quality you have to throw the water away. This happens if the chicken was fed some kind of junk. For me it still takes 30 mins to have the gizzards soft enough. Len www.len.ro > The pictures are great!

If the meat is clean the boiling it should result in a clear yellow
water and you don't have to have more than twice to remove the foam. Any meat boiling results in some foam which should be removed but if there is a lot of foam and it's dirty then I change the water and wash the meat before replacing with clean water.

I rinse the gizzards and cut them in half. Brown lots of sliced onions in olive oil, remove onions, add gizzards to oil and quickly brown them. Return onions to pot, add chicken broth, summer savory, salt & pepper. If I have some on hand, instead of salt, I add a tablespoon of "Les herbes salées du Bas-du-Fleuve"**. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the gizzards are tender. If I'm making this after work I usually use the pressure cooker. Once the gizzards are tender I add diced rutabagas, carrots and potatoes and simmer until tender. Gorge. ** Herbes salées: recipe varies but this particular brand is a mixture of finely chopped celery, onions, carrots, parsnips, parsley, chevil, savory, leek, chives, spinach packed with coarse salt. When I was growing up there was a always a crock of these in the cold room. Mom or my aunt would make them with onions (fresh from the garden, stalks included), celery, parsley and carrots. When I got my own place I'd make a small batch every couple of months or so for soups & stews. By the way, I heard on a CBC radio show last week that the FDA wouldn't allow summer savory into the US. I didn't take it too seriously because it was obvious that neither of the hosts of the show knew what the herb was but now I wonder, does the FDA have a problem with summer savory? Gabby |
