Chicken Liver & Gizzard Stir Fry#SundayFunday

Chicken Liver is a healthy nutritious protein that is full of iron, vitamin A and B. Its is also a good source of minerals like manganese, copper and zinc among others. However it is very high in cholesterol which is important to take note off. This is also very good when your blood count is less. Have this and you will not suffer from iron deficiency.

Always use only fresh chicken livers and not frozen. Wash well, remove all stringy fibers attached to liver. Chicken Liver & Gizzards Stir Fry is a delicious serve it as a Side-Dish
Serve warm. Do not reheat. 

Ingredients
200 Grams Fresh Chicken Liver
200 Grams Fresh Chicken Gizzard - cut into pieces
1 Medium Onion - sliced
2 Whole Green chillies - slit
1 Small Capsicum - sliced

1 Small Tomato - de seeded & sliced
4 - 5 Cloves Garlic - minced
½ Teaspoon Sea salt or to taste
¼ Teaspoon Turmeric powder
1 Teaspoon Cumin powder
1¼ Teaspoon Red Chilly powder
A Juice one Lemon
2 Tablespoons Oil
Method

Marinate the chicken liver and gizzard in turmeric, cumin powder and half the quantity of chilly powder with salt to taste for 15 minutes. Cook the gizzards only in a pressure cooker with ¼ cup water for one whistle on high flame, then reduce the flame to medium low and keep it for 15 minutes. Switch off the flame and let the cooker cool.

In a wok or large deep pan heat oil , add the garlic and sauté for a minute then add the sliced onions and green chillies sauté till soft and translucent. Then add the capsicum and tomato sauté for a minute only. Take out half the quantity of onion and capsicum for garnishing. Add the cooked gizzard and remaining red chilly powder sauté for 2 minutes then add the liver and sauté for a minute, cover and cook on medium low flame for  10 minutes only. Add the salt and stir it lightly. Do not overcook or else the liver will turn hard. 

Sprinkle with fresh lemon juice and serve garnished with the reserved onion, tomato and capsicum.  

My Notes 

It is best to cut one piece of liver to see if it is done rather than overcooking the lot. It should be pinkish yet no trace of blood to have cooked properly. The darker the color the hard and drier the liver will be.

Reduce the red chilly powder according to your spice level.

April Fools' Day Chicken Nuggets & French Fries#SundayFunday

When I made these nuggets and gave them to my hubby to enjoy he wouldn't touch them thinking that am really giving him chicken to eat. Then I told him this a April Fools Food Prank he looked at me quite believable wondering whether I am speaking the truth.

After eating one he looked at me stunned, since they looked exactly like Mac chicken nuggets. Do try this prank on your kid's or friends and see their reaction.

Ingredients 
For The Nuggets 
Vanilla Pound Cake - cut into squares 
8 - 10 Biscuits - coarsely powdered 
½ Cup Vanilla Icing - I used ½ Cup Icing Sugar + 1 -2 Teaspoons Milk 
For The French Fries  
Pound Cake Slices  
Crinkle Cutter

Method

Place the biscuits in a zip lock bag and crush them with a meat mallet to get coarse crumbs. Transfer crumbs to a bowl. Keep aside.

Get a store-bought vanilla pound cake or make your own ( I made eggless vanilla pound cake ) and ¼" thick squares or nugget shapes. Reserve some slices for fries later.

Make the icing adding a teaspoon of milk at a time to make a coating consistency icing. Dip the nuggets into vanilla icing evenly until all the cakes slices / nuggets are evenly covered. Place them on a wire rack to remove the excess icing. 

Carefully pick up one nuggets at a time and dredge in the crushed biscuit powder. Return to the wire cooling rack to harden. Serve with jam of your choice. Cut reserved slices with a crinkle cutter to make fries.

April Fool's Day Chicken Nuggets are ready!
