I've noticed that ColesWorth are selling chicken gizzards now, calling them giblets¹. I favourably remember my old house mate in the 1990s cooking up gizzards, so I bought some to try again.

They're great! Tough little pieces of muscle that cook up nicely. I quartered them, lightly fried with peanut oil and onion, then added 1½ cups water and a good pinch of salt before pressure cooking at pressure for 24 minutes. Then into a fricassee with habaneros, mushrooms, coconut cream. Delicious and tender!

Last night we had them served over proso millet, tonight we'll finish them off with spiral pasta.

Incidentally, Woollies also have chicken hearts, which fry up nicely in a wok. Very tasty, texture might not be to everyone's liking though. Would be great on skewers over charcoal.

¹ giblets is a collective term for the bits not usually used, e.g. heart, liver, kidney, gizzard, neck.

Ol' man giblets
That ol' man giblets
he must know something
But he don't say nothing
