Preparation
Step 1
How to make chicken gizzards and hearts stewed in sour cream in a skillet? It’s quite easy. Prepare the ingredients. Take the sour cream out of the fridge in advance so it comes to room temperature - this reduces the chance of it curdling while simmering.
Step 2
Trim the gizzards and hearts of connective tissue and excess fat. Wash thoroughly. Cut large gizzards in half.
Step 3
Wash and peel the onion, then slice it into half-rings.
Step 4
Wash and peel the carrot, then grate it on a Korean-style julienne grater. If you don’t have one, cut the carrot into thin matchsticks or grate it on a coarse grater.
Step 5
Heat a thick-bottomed skillet and add vegetable oil. Add the hearts and gizzards. Cover and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tender. The offal will release liquid, so don’t add water yet. You may need to add a little water later during simmering.
Step 6
Add the sliced onion and carrot to the skillet. Pour in water, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes over medium heat.
Step 7
Add the tomato paste.
Step 8
Add the sour cream to the offal with the vegetables. In 50 ml (about 3 tbsp) cold water, whisk 1.5 tbsp flour until smooth, then add to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a bay leaf. Stir and simmer for another 7-10 minutes.
Step 9
Chicken gizzards and hearts stewed in sour cream in a skillet are ready. Serve with any side dish. Enjoy!
