Tanzanian Firigisi za Kuku (Chicken Gizzard Appetizer)

Ingredients:

Gizzards of 2 chickens

2 garlic cloves

0.5cm piece ginger root

4 dried chillies (preferrably piri-piri)

1/2 tbsp salt

1 tbsp Malawi Curry Powder

1 tsp lime juice

2 tbsp oil

Cooking Instructions:

Clean the gizzards, wash them and cut into bite-sized chunks. Crush the garlic and grate the ginger then mix. Pound the chillies to a paste in a pestle and mortar then mix with the salt and Malawi Curry powder. Add half the oil to a pan and gently fry the gizzards for a minute or two. Add the chilli powder mix and fry for a minute further. Add a little water and simmer for about 70 minutes, topping-up the water as required. Allow the remaining water to boil away, add the remaining oil and the garlic mix. Fry for a few minutes then add the lime juice. Heat through and serve as an appetizer, garnished with lime slices. Traditionally this is served with ice-cold beer.
