• Ready In: 17mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 500 g duck gizzards or 500 g chicken gizzards
• 1 1⁄2 liters duck fat, liquid
• 1 bulb of garlic
• 50 g fresh thyme, cleaned and chopped
• black pepper
• kosher salt

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Cut the garlic bulb in half and put it in a small mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, put the cleaned gizzard and rub in some salt, then rub it with the garlic followed by the thyme. Let the gizzards sit in the refrigerator for approximately 3 hours.
3. After this time take them out of the fridge and the marinade and rinse under cold water.
4. In a heavy-bottomed pan over a medium-high heat with a slick of duck fat, roast the gizzards for a couple of minutes. Meanwhile, in another saucepan gently heat the remaining duck fat over a medium heat. Slide the gizzards into the duck fat and move the pan to the oven to cook for 2 hours.
5. Lift the gizzards from the fat with a slotted spoon and drain any excess fat on paper towels. Slice the gizzards and use them for canapés, garnish on rice or even as a spread on toast.
