Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken giblets
• 1 large Onion
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 medium Celery stalk
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken stock
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 1 Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the chicken giblets thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat or connective tissue.

Step 2

Chop the onion finely. Mince the garlic. Dice the carrot and celery into small pieces.

Step 3

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and slightly foamy.

Step 4

Add the onions to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic, carrot, and celery, and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Deglaze the pan with the dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

Step 7

Add the chicken giblets to the pan and stir to coat them evenly in the mixture.

Step 8

Pour in the chicken stock and add the bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Cover the pan with a lid and let the giblets cook over low heat for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 10

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Discard the bay leaf before serving.

Step 11

Garnish the dish with chopped parsley and serve hot with cooked rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
