Chicken Gizzard Stir-Fry

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

1 cup Local Organic Chicken Gizzard
1 Tbsp. sesame oil
1 Tbsp. garlic, minced
Dash of salt and pepper
1/2 onion
2 whole garlic bulbs (or a handful of cloves), peeled
1 jalapeno
Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Soy sauce/vinegar/wasabi mix (optional for dipping)

METHOD

1. Take your cup of chicken gizzard and begin by cutting away the little white parts - it is not necessary but the white parts are pretty tough and I prefer to have it remove it. If you'd like to have your gizzards extra crispy, you can cut it up into smaller pieces.
2. Throw in a handful of flour and salt and scrub away. Then rinse it several times under cool water until the water runs clear.
3. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once bubbling, add the gizzards and let it boil for about 5-7 minutes. 
4. While the gizzard is boiling, prepare the rest of your vegetables. Slice up half an onion and one jalapeno.
5. When the gizzards are done boiling, rinse it under cool water and then drain all the excess liquid. Then, marinate the gizzards in: 1 TB of minced garlic, 1/2 TB of sesame oil, and a dash of salt and pepper.
6. Mix it thoroughly and let it sit for a bit.
7. Heat up your pan with some oil and add in your vegetables while stirring.
8. After a few minutes, add the gizzards and keep frying until the garlic gloves start to brown.
9. Transfer to a bowl/plate and top it with a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top right before serving.
   Tip: I personally like dipping mine in a soy sauce/vinegar/wasabi mix while some prefer the good old-fashioned sesame oil with salt and pepper.
