Long time no see! I am terribly sorry about that but now my wedding is behind me and I should find more time now to fullfill my blogging duties! I have my two brothers in law coming for dinner tonight and I wanted to try something special, something that I know for sure that they are not use to eat. As a child my mother was cooking gizzards a lot. It could be with some potatoes and diced lard or in a salad like below. I just had this recipe in mind yesterday in the supermarket so now it is the time to share it with you guys!
You can use different sort of bread. For example today I have used pumpkin bread. Use what you can find in your closest bakery. This is the same for the cheese usually Comté is the cheese used in France for such homemade salad but as I live in Switzerland I though that Gruyère was more appropriate.
Chicken gizzards salad recipe

Instructions

Gonna have to try this
I use Chicken Gizzards and hearts when I make pretty INTENSE and rich winter/ bone stocks, slowly poaching them overnight. The leftover meats and gizzards make for exellent potted meats/ pates. My dogs love them too. I use a LOT of heart/ gizzard/ paws for my stocks.
I’ll hold back a few and try the recipe as is
