Cooking tips

  • To ensure that chicken gizzards are soft after boiling or stewing, lightly pound them with a special meat mallet before cooking.
  • When salt is added, many foods cook less well and take longer to cook. The same is true with stomachs. Therefore, we advise you to salt them 10 minutes before the end of cooking (stewing, frying or boiling).
  • To prevent your stomachs from becoming bitter, rinse them thoroughly to remove bile.

1. Before cooking, chicken gizzards must be washed thoroughly and all films removed. Then we cut them into pieces that are convenient for you.


2. Now you can go in two ways - pre-boil the stomachs or immediately start stewing them. We tried two cooking options and did not feel any difference. Therefore, we don’t waste time and immediately put the chicken stomachs in a frying pan with well-heated vegetable oil. Fry the navels over high heat for 7 minutes. Don't forget to stir all the time so they don't burn.


3. Add tomato paste to the well-fried navels. It can be replaced with fresh tomatoes. If you have any on hand. Make cuts on the tomatoes and scald them with boiling water. Remove the skin and chop the tomatoes in a way convenient for you. Add juice to navels.


4. Immediately add a little water so that the navels are covered with sauce. If you use fresh tomato juice, then no water is needed. Salt and pepper the chicken gizzards to your taste. You can add a bay leaf and two peas of allspice to flavor the dish. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer the gizzards for about 1 hour.


5. Ready chicken gizzards can be served with any side dish - for example, boiled potatoes. Fresh herbs and vegetables will complement your meal.

2. Delicious chicken gizzards stewed with potatoes:

Hello, friends! I offer you another delicious recipe for preparing dishes from soup products - chicken stomachs or navels. This is a great addition to any porridge or pasta, very similar to goulash.

Soup products make very tasty and at the same time inexpensive dishes, which allows you to diversify the menu and save your budget. So, let's get started.
First of all, let's check the stomachs so that they are clean. If you come across a yellow film, be sure to remove it, otherwise it will give a strong bitterness to the dish. Wash in water.

Cut into halves.

Pour vegetable oil into a deep frying pan, heat it and place the chicken gizzards.

Cover with a lid and simmer; as soon as the juice from under the stomachs boils away, add water. Simmer until desired softness. I like them very soft, so I simmer them for about 40 minutes.


Peel the onions, wash them and cut them into half rings.

Peel the carrots, wash them and grate them on a coarse grater.

Add chopped onions and grated carrots to the gizzards.

Stir and simmer for another 20-25 minutes.

Peel the garlic and chop finely.

Add tomato paste, salt, pepper, bay leaf, and spices to our stomachs. Dry herbs harmonize very well in this dish; you can add a mixture, such as Provençal herbs.

Stir, you can add more water to make more sauce. And simmer for another 15 minutes. At the very end, add garlic.


Our chicken gizzard goulash is ready, serve.

The stomachs turn out to be very soft, tender, and most importantly tasty. It may seem to some that it takes a long time to cook them, but if you look closely, your participation in the process is minimal; you can easily do other things at this time and periodically monitor the stewing process. The recipe itself is very easy, even a novice cook can handle it.
Bon appetit everyone and my best wishes! See you soon!
