Chicken Gizzard Stew

While searching for a few new Polish recipes, I came across this gem and since I love gizzards, I decided to try it out. The original recipe listed allspice seeds, but since I only had ground allspice, I used that instead. I also added a chicken bouillon cube to add a dab more chicken flavor. The gizzards were very tender, the gravy was delicious and my hubby was happy as could be. What more could a gal ask for! Thank you, cookinpolish.com, for the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pound chicken gizzards

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 2 carrots, diced

  • 3 bay leaves

  • ½ teaspoon allspice

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

  • 1 teaspoon dill

  • 1 chicken bouillon cube

  • 1 Tablespoon oil

Directions

  • In a skillet, saute the carrots and onions in 1 Tablespoon oil for 5-8 minutes or until the onions start to brown. Remove from stove.
  • Clean gizzards, cut in half and place in a saucepan. Cover with water.
  • Add the allspice, bay leaves, salt, pepper, bouillon cube and sautéed carrots and onions.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 75 minutes.
  • When the gizzards are fork tender, scoop out & reserve the liquid.
  • Add the heavy cream, 1 cup of the reserved cooking liquid and the dill to the gizzards.
  • Simmer,uncovered, for 15minutes. The sauce will thicken slightly. If you prefer a thicker sauce, put ¼ cup of the cooking liquid in a cup with a heaping teaspoon of flour and mix well to dissolve any lumps. Add to the sauce and simmer a few more minutes to thicken.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
