Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds chicken gizzards
(12 ounce) bottle olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, chopped, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup water, or more as needed
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
½ pound bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Wash gizzards in water and remove any fat or yellow tissue you can see. Cut each gizzard into 4 parts.
  • Put gizzards in a pan of cold water and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Drain, rinse in cold water, and drain again.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until transparent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add gizzards, salt, and pepper; saute for 2 to 4 minutes. Add wine, 1 cup water, and tomatoes; cover and cook for 1 hour, adding more water as needed.
  • Uncover, reduce heat to low, and cook until tender, 30 more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • Stir bacon into the gizzards and add parsley and chives before serving.
