Gizzards And Rice Recipes

GIZZARDS AND RICE

Steps:

• Place chicken gizzards in a large saucepan, and add enough water to cover them. Cover, and bring to a boil. Boil over medium-high heat for 10 minutes. Drain, reserving the water, and chop into bite size pieces. Cook rice according to package directions using gizzard water.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, garlic and mushrooms until onion is tender. Add gizzards, and saute for 5 more minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, onion soup mix, and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, and cook until reduced by 1/2, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in rice, heat through and serve. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

PORTOBELLO, WILD RICE, AND GIZZARDS

Steps:

• Place rice and water in a pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium casserole dish.
• Place gizzards in a pot with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Cook 15 minutes. Drain, and dice.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet, and cook the onion, mushroom, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes until tender. Mix in the cooked gizzards, and cook until lightly browned. Transfer mixture to the prepared casserole dish, and stir in the rice. Top with Parmesan cheese.
• Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until bubbly.

CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Remove gizzards and liver from chicken and discard; keep the neck (optional). Place chicken-and neck, if using-into a large Dutch oven or pot, breast side up. Add enough cool water to just barely cover the chicken. Over high heat, bring to a boil. While heating, season with ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and add bay leaves and onion if using. When boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook, about 1 hour.
• After an hour, chicken should be fully cooked and falling off the bone. Turn off heat, remove lid, and let rest in the broth, 30 minutes.
• Remove chicken from the pot and set aside to cool. Meanwhile, season the broth with remaining black pepper and salt. Bring back to a boil and stir in rice; lower heat and simmer uncovered, 1 minute. Stir and cook another 8-20 minutes, depending on the cooking directions of the type of rice you're using.
• Meanwhile, pull the chicken into sizable chunks, discarding the bones, skin, and fat; pour any juices that run off back into the chicken meat. When the rice is cooked, add chicken back to the pot. Stir, cover, and simmer, 10 more minutes.
• After 10 minutes, the rice will have absorbed most of the broth, yielding a soupy consistency. (At this point, add more broth if desired.) Season with more black pepper and salt to taste. Stir in the lemon juice. Sprinkle with more black pepper and serve immediately.

GIZZARDS AND RICE

Steps:

• 1. Place gizzards and hearts in slow cooker.
• 2. Add broth, stock or water to cover. Here I had some stock left over so I used that in place of the bullion. I cooked this 8 hours on low.
• 3. Drain and reserve cooking water. Set gizzards aside to cool.
• 4. Heat butter in a 12' frying pan until bubbly. Add onion and garlic and cook until onion is soft..
• 5. Add rice after onions are beginning to soften.
• 6. Here I added some sweet red pepper for a little color.
• 7. Add mushrooms and cook until they are getting soft.
• 8. Mix Sherry, soy, cumin, ginger and water from gizzards to make 4 cups.
• 9. Add to rice mixture, bring to a boil, cover and simmer.
• 10. Chop gizzards with a knife or food processor.
• 11. Add chopped meat to rice when rice is nearly done. Stir all together to warm up the gizzards.
• 12. You may have to add more gizzard water or butter if the pan seems too dry. It's better if there is extra moisture.
• 13. When all is tender, stir in chopped parsley and sliced green onion if desired.

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.
