- Chicken gizzards are a budget-friendly cut — they turn out delicious but need careful prep first. Start by washing them very well and draining them in a colander so the excess water runs off. Once they've dried enough, cut them into strips, trimming away any fat and unusable bits. Peel, wash, and dry the onion and garlic. Dice the onion small and chop the garlic with a knife. Heat a skillet with vegetable oil, add the vegetables, and fry for a couple of minutes until the onion turns translucent and the garlic smells wonderful. Season the mix with turmeric and paprika. Seed and stem the chili peppers, cut them into rings, and add them to the pan — work with hot peppers only while wearing gloves. Stir everything together well. Once the vegetables and spices are evenly combined, add the sliced gizzards. Stir and fry for 3–5 minutes. Then pour in the broth (chicken broth suits the gizzards best). Cut the sun-dried tomatoes into pieces — or feel free to use canned ones, just mashing them with a fork — and add them to the gizzards. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce to the lowest heat, and simmer for 25 minutes. Wash, dry, and dice the fresh tomatoes; peel them if you like (score the base, cover with boiling water for a couple of minutes, cool to a comfortable temperature, and slip off the skins). Add the diced tomatoes to the gizzards along with the oregano sprigs, cover, and keep simmering for about 10 minutes. When the dish is nearly done, add a little salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Stir well and finish cooking. Serve the gizzards hot with any side dish. Enjoy!
