4 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds 1 kg chicken gizzards, cleaned
- 150 milliliters olive oil
- 1 red onion finely chopped
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 Italian tomatoes Roma, diced
- 60 grams aji panca paste or substitute with tomato paste
- 500 milliliters chicken broth or water
- 1 russet potato peeled and cubed
- 2 carrots sliced
- 120 grams green beans
- 15 grams fresh parsley chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon Pluck Spicy seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh oregano for garnish
Instructions
Prepare and Sear the Chicken Gizzards:
- Begin by seasoning the chicken gizzards with salt, pepper, cumin, and Pluck Spicy seasoning. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned gizzards and sear until golden brown on all sides. Remove the gizzards from the pot and set aside.
Sauté the Aromatics:
- In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and bay leaf. Sprinkle with additional salt, pepper, and cumin to taste. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and fragrant.
Incorporate the Paste and Broth:
- Stir in the aji panca paste (or tomato paste if substituting) until evenly distributed. Return the seared gizzards to the pot and pour in the chicken broth or water, ensuring the gizzards are fully covered. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 30 minutes.
Add the Vegetables:
- After 30 minutes, add the cubed potato, sliced carrots, and green beans to the pot. Stir to combine, cover, and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the bay leaf from the stew. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and oregano. Serve hot, either on its own or over a bed of white rice, for a complete meal.
