Candied Poultry Gizzards
Comments: Watch carefully as only 1 minute is enough for the water to evaporate and just a few seconds for gizzards to become dry and hard, lost!
Excellent served lukewarm thinly sliced, into a salad.
IngredientsPreparation
  • Poultry such as chicken gizzards
  • Coarse salt
  • 1 bunch fresh thyme sprigs
  • Crushed garlic cloves, to taste
  • Goose, duck or meat fat
  • One day ahead of time, well clean, open-up each gizzard in the middle pulling on each side.
  • Delicately pull inside pocket; throw away pocket, after checking inside to see how the bird was fed if desired.
  • Transfer cleaned gizzards into a salad bowl.
  • Sprinkle all over with coarse salt.
  • Set aside overnight.
  • Well-rinse then transfer gizzards into a casserole [you will notice that they are now really red, due to the salt].
  • Add fresh thyme sprigs and crushed garlic cloves.
  • Cover gizzards, with lots of goose, duck or meat fat.
  • Bring to a boil over really low heat.
  • Directly cover mixture with waxed paper, cut to size of the casserole; cover casserole leaving a small opening.
  • Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat for 5 to 10 minutes, to keep mixture to simmer really slowly.
  • Simmer for 10 minutes more; then turn off the heat for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Repeat until gizzards are really tender, which could take up to 2 hours, watching carefully.
