Ingredients:
- 500g chicken hearts
- 500g chicken gizzards, cleaned and trimmed
- 2 Tbsp (30ml) vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp (15ml) ginger, minced
- 2 Tbsp (30ml) curry powder (or garam masala)
- 1 tsp (5ml) ground cumin
- 1 tsp (5ml) ground coriander
- 1 tsp (5ml) turmeric powder
- 1 tsp (5ml) paprika
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- ½ cup (125ml) chicken stock
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh coriander for garnish
- 1-2 uncut white loaves
- ¼ cup (60ml) margarine
- 1 tsp (5ml) garlic powder or crushed fresh garlic
- 1 Tbsp (15ml) freshly chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper
Method:
- Rinse the chicken hearts and gizzards thoroughly. If the gizzards are large, cut them into smaller pieces.
- Boil the gizzards in a pot of water for about 30-40 minutes to soften them. Drain and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan or pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for another minute.
- Stir in the curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and paprika. Cook the spices for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook until they break down about 5 minutes.
- Add the pre-boiled gizzards and chicken hearts to the pan. Mix well to coat them with the spice mixture.
- Add the chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce the heat, and let it cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the meat is tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To make the garlic loaves, mix the margarine, parsley and garlic salt.
- Cut the bread into your desired portion size (either in halves or quarters). Then spread the sides of the loaves with garlic margarine. Toast the sides of the loaves in a pan until golden.
- Carefully break or cut the soft middle parts out of the bread and fill with curry. Serve.
