Pipettes (fried) in Dough
To prepare a delicious recipe for fried gizzards, it is essential to pay attention to each step so that the final result is tasty and well-prepared. Start by cleaning the yellowish skin off the gizzards, if it exists. This step is important to achieve a pleasant texture and a finer flavor. Once you have finished cleaning, wash the gizzards under a stream of cold water and cut off the hard part from each gizzard, ensuring they are ready to be boiled.
In a pot, bring water to a boil and add salt, thus preparing a liquid that will help enhance the flavor of the gizzards. Once the water has started to boil, add the gizzards and boil them until they become tender, which may take about 30-40 minutes, depending on their size. When the gizzards are ready, drain them well and let them cool for a few minutes. Then, to give them a touch of freshness, mix them with 1-2 tablespoons of yogurt, which will add a pleasant creaminess and enrich the flavor.
Next, we move on to preparing the dough. In a bowl, combine flour with ice-cold water or mineral water, mixing well to obtain a homogeneous composition. If you want to add a hint of flavor, sprinkle a little pepper or paprika into the dough, depending on your preferences. If you want the dough to be crispier, do not hesitate to add a little cornmeal, which will provide an unusual texture to the dish.
Prepare a frying pan with oil, ensuring that the oil is well heated. Take each gizzard, dip it in the prepared dough, and then carefully place it in the pan. Fry them on each side until the dough becomes golden and crispy, a process that takes about 3-4 minutes. When the gizzards are ready, remove them from the pan and let them drain on a paper towel to eliminate excess oil. Serve them hot, alongside a fresh salad or spicy sauces, and enjoy a delicious dish full of flavor!
