6 c chicken stock or chicken bullion cubes

Steps:

1. Clean and boil gizzards for an hour and a half to two hours. It takes this long to make sure they are "fork tender" Then cut into 2-3 pieces each depending on their size.
2. Chop onions, celery and bell pepper set aside.
3. Make your roux with 1 stick butter and 1/2 cup flour. Make a dark roux Once roux is desired color add the chopped onions, celery and bell pepper.
4. After about 10 minutes the onions will become clear and the celery and bell pepper tender, now is time to add the stock.
5. Add a little bit of stock at a time and stir until well mixed and thick. Continue to add stock to get to a soupy consistency.
6. Now add the gizzards/hearts and mix. Turn to a low heat and let simmer for at least 30 minutes. An hour is better then serve over rice.
7. This is what the consistency should look like when done. If it gets too thick either add more stock or a bit of hot water. You want this thick over the rice not soupy.
