Chicken Pi-Pis

This is one of those recipes that will likely seem weird to many American eaters. But I ate this in Portugal and loved it. It is essentially curried chicken gizzards. But they are so yummy served over rice. I used to love it when our friend Esmeralda (a woman I know in Lisbon) would make this for us. So I got the recipe. -- Stacy

Ingredients:

2 lb. chicken gizzards
2 onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 bay leaf
2T olive oil
1T curry
salt
pepper
piri-piri (spicy Portuguese hot sauce)
6T wine

Instructions:

Wash gizzards with water and vinegar. Cut out hard part (usually in middle of each gizzard). Sauté garlic, onion, and chicken until it's yellowish. Add all the rest. Cover. Simmer. Add water (don't let it dry). Serve over rice.

Notes:

I suppose you could make this recipe and use regular meat instead of gizzard meat, but I haven't ever tried that. I've only eaten it this way with gizzards. We also usually have chicken liver in there, too. And that's yummy as well.
