Healthy Ways to Cook Gizzards
If you’ve ever had gizzards, you know they can be a little bit… intimidating.
But they don’t have to be! Gizzards are actually pretty versatile—and a great way to give your body some extra nutrients. Here are some healthy ways to cook gizzards:
#1: Pan-frying
Pan-frying is one of the simplest ways to prepare gizzards, and it’s a great way to introduce them to your family. Just heat some oil in a pan, add some gizzards, and fry them until they’re golden brown on both sides. Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add spices like paprika or cumin if you want more flavour.
#2: Boiling
Place gizzards in a pot with enough water to cover them by at least one inch. Bring water to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes or until they’re tender enough to be pierced easily with a fork. Drain off any excess liquid before serving.
#3: Stewing and Braising
Stewing and braising are good ways to cook gizzards, but they don’t always turn out the way you want them to.
When you stew or braise gizzards, you need to be sure that you’re not over-cooking them. This will dry them out and make them challenging. You should also add a lot of moisture to your stew or braise so that the meat stays tender and juicy. You can do this by adding a lot of liquid like water or stock.
Another thing you can do is cook your gizzards in a pressure cooker so that they don’t dry out as much during cooking time.
#4: Baking
Bake them in the oven until they’re browned and crispy on the outside. You can season them with salt and pepper or try adding some spices like rosemary or thyme for an extra kick.
