I made this this afternoon and I can say its 100% delicious! I also made the shrimp coconut fried rice on your blog. 2/2!
Awesome!
Hey one more question. I don’t have oregano. What can I use as a substitute? Ooh and thanks for answering my previous question.
Feel free to substitute with any other herb you have….you are welcome!!
Hi 9jafoodie! I’m trying this out now and just realized I only have about 12 pieces of medium sized gizzard. bummer! What should I reduce in the recipe to get it right?
Hello Dayo… Reduce the sauce a little…. Use just one tomato instead of two. Let me know how it turns out
Tried this recipe and it was delicious! A great alternative that I used instead of frying, was to reduce the steaming time, dry the gizzard in the oven on high, then combine with the sauce. Thanks for this fabulous site & sharing.
Yeiii!! we are glad the recipe worked out great for you.
is very straight forward…..i just bought a gizzard now…will try it out.
let me know how it turns out.
Before I only see that I kill fowl for our household but is only my dad and mum use to eat the gizzard therein that is only elderly person that could eat it! What a great trek, not knowing that there only cajole us. Now I became Executive ‘Chef’ I love eating gizzard but in (fried) and after I make my chilly pepper, garlic, ginger, maggi, and salt to taste in sauce and turn my fried gizzard into it and make is simmer for about 6-7 minute. Serve Hot beside Fried Rice or vegetable Rice
any substitute to the Italian seasoning. i wish to try this out. i reside in Nigeria.in order to make the Italian seasoning can i get those herbs in Nigeria? thyme is common around here but how do i get the others?

All is well thank you! I love it as well.
Thanks a lot for this recipe. I have seen it (and sampled it too) at weddings and other events, usually with dodo. I appreciate your giving the quick recipe for making your own Italian seasoning mix too. I have never thought of actually “making” mine, but here you make it sound so easy. You too mush :-)
Yes…. I have also had it with dodo, I am not a big fan. lol… awww, you know I try. Thanks babe.
whats the recipe for making italian seasoning? also whats the nuitritional value in this gizzard dish?
please tell me guys
The recipe for italian seasoning is at the bottom of the post. Gizzard is low in Saturated Fat and Sodium. It is also a good source of Protein, Vitamin B12, Iron, Phosphorus and Zinc, and a very good source of Selenium. The only downside is that it’s high in cholesterol
I am now bookmarking this page cos this is about to become a regular thing in my house lol… looks great
Yeiii!!!! that’s good news
Something is going on my shopping list now, and that is gizzard. I was surprised how cheap it was here, not that I bought it much in naija, but then my mom always reserved it for her and my dad when we got whole chicken, lol…
That same thing Happened in my HOUSE!! I used to want gizzard so bad, now I can have all I want. lol.
i LOVE making this from time to time cos its so easy and yummy too…but thanks to your blog i just found out the nutritional value.yay!:D
Yes love, it is both yummy and nutritious.
