Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken gizzards
- 1 large onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 500 milliliters chicken stock
- 200 grams sour cream
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 250 grams egg noodles or rice
Instructions
Clean the chicken gizzards thoroughly, trimming any tough membranes or fat. Rinse well and pat dry.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the sweet paprika and smoked paprika, cooking briefly to bloom the spices, about 30 seconds.
Add the chicken gizzards to the pot, stirring to coat them evenly with the paprika mixture.
Season with salt and black pepper, then stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes to deepen the flavor.
Pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer gently for 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gizzards are tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and flour to form a smooth mixture. Gradually stir this into the pot to thicken the sauce.
Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Cook the egg noodles or rice according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Serve the Chicken Gizzard Paprikash over the noodles or rice, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
