DAVID'S GIZZARDS AND GRAVY OVER RICE

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.
