Peppered Gizzard

Hey friends,

Today i will be making peppered gizzard and sharing the recipe with you guys. I absoloutely love this dish because its spicy and it reminds me of home.

INGREDIENTS:

1Kilo of Gizzard - washed and cleaned
1 Medium Onion
2-3 Pepper bonnets
A Handful of  Fresh Parsley or Coriander Leaves
Oil
Knorr Chicken Stock Cube
Salt to Taste
2 Maggi Cubes
1 teaspoon of Curry Powder
1 teaspoon of Thyme
1 teaspoon All Purpose Seasoning
1 teaspoon Dried hot pepper


STEP ONE:
The gizzard should be boiled with little salt and the chicken stock cube until tender to bite.

STEP TWO:
The onions, pepper and parsley should be finely diced. ( Be careful when dicing the pepper, avoid touching you face)



STEP THREE:
Once, the gizzard is tender. Remove from the stock and place in a separate bowl for use.


STEP FOUR:
In a pot or frying pan over a medium heat, add 2 cooking spoon full of oil. Add the onions and pepper then leave for 2-3 minutes to sweat and soften in the oil.


STEP FIVE:
Add in the gizzard and the spices ( curry, maggi cubes, all purpose seasoning, dried pepper and thyme). Allow all the spices to infuse into the meat, so cover and leave for another 3-5 minutes.


STEP SIX:
Taste the gizzard to determine if extra salt or seasoning is needed. This will depend on individual taste.



STEP SEVEN:
When the gizzard is done, remove the pot from the heat and serve.. garnish with the chopped parsley or coriander.

I served the gizzard with some coconut rice, stew and fried plantain.



ENJOY
