Ingredients

• 800 g chicken gizzards;
• 1 onion;
• 2 chicken eggs;
• 80 g white bread;
• 80 ml milk;
• 2 cloves garlic;
• 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs;
• 1/2 teaspoon salt;
• ground black pepper to taste;
• vegetable oil for frying.

Step-by-step recipe

1. Thoroughly wash the chicken gizzards, remove membranes and excess fat. Boil them for 40-45 minutes over low heat until tender, then cool completely.
2. Soak the bread in milk and squeeze lightly. Pass the gizzards, onion, garlic, and softened bread through a meat grinder.
3. Add eggs, salt, and ground black pepper, mix the mince thoroughly. If it turns out too soft, refrigerate it for 20 minutes.
4. Form small patties, roll them in breadcrumbs, and place them on a preheated frying pan with vegetable oil.
5. Fry the chicken gizzard patties for 4-5 minutes on each side over medium heat. Then cover the pan with a lid and simmer for another 5 minutes over low heat.
