Brine-Braised Giblets Recipe image

When braised in a tart brine, gizzards are truly delectable! This is an easy dish to serve guests, as it can be made a day in advance and reheated. Cooked barley is a perfect side to soak up the rich sauce.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound chicken gizzards
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1¼ cups pickle brine
2 tablespoons sour cream
¼ cup finely chopped dill pickles, for garnish
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill, for garnish
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives, for garnish
Cooked barley or rye toast for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Wash the gizzards well and remove any excess fat. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the onion and sauté over low heat until soft and golden but not brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the gizzards and garlic. Sprinkle with the salt and a few generous grinds of pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the gizzards are nicely browned and beginning to caramelize, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour in the pickle brine, cover the pan, and bring to a boil, then immediately lower the heat to simmer. Simmer gently for 45 minutes, until the gizzards are fork-tender.
  • With a slotted spoon, remove the gizzards from the broth and transfer them to a cutting board. Slice into ½-inch-thick pieces.
  • Stir the sour cream into the sauce, mixing well. Return the gizzards to the pan and stir to coat before transferring them to a serving dish. Garnish with the pickles and herbs.

CRUNCHY BRAISED CHICKEN GIZZARD



Crunchy Braised Chicken Gizzard image

I live in Singapore and one of our most famous dishes is our Chicken Rice. Sometimes, gizzard is available as a sideorder. I have usually been disappointed with the flavour. This recipe is my own version, and a tasy way (my family agrees) to use often discarded chicken parts. Excellent as an appetizer.
