What shall I do with my giblets?

[mooncake]

Just opened packaging on tonight's chicken and found my first ever bag of giblets! Any suggestions on what I can do with them? Ta!

Post them through the letterbox of your local vegetarian cafe?

Either that or slip out under cover of darkness and sling them over the top of your shed - into the rear of the adjacent garden.

boil-up some chicken stock. then use it for some soup later this week (or freeze the stock until you decide what to make with it).

DO NOT use the liver for your gravy - will make it bitter. Learned this the hard way one christmas.

Otherwise will make a damn fine stock/gravy as already suggested.

It's only a tiny amount - surely not enough to make much difference to my stock?? Wondering about frying?

What reeko said. Sans liver add giblets to onion, celery, carrot, bayleaf, peppercorns, parsley stalks and leek tops (if available) and a little thyme, add water and simmer to make a fine stock for gravy.-

Don't chuck the liver - chop and add it to breadcrumbs, softened onion, chopped apples and walnuts (optional), herbs and seasoning for a traditional-type stuffing.

Put under the bird in the roasting tin while cooking, then take out when all cooked, eat the ones you like, e.g. Liver, pour off any fat and either deglaze with some wine or cider, or use cornflour or normal flour to make gravy, using stock or veg water. Yummy!

Leave it outside for a passing fox.

Mm.. All good suggestions! Unfortunately chicken was for chicken rice today,rather than roasting so limited choice of what to do with it (and I just made stock yesterday with some carcasses - doh!). BUT seems that I could make some liver stuffing and keep it in the freezer, and will most likely make yet more stock with the rest. Thanks all!

Yuk!! I don't cook them but I love Bob Suggestion :)

What aquarius moon said...

Foxy.

Just don't eat them as I once did after a night on the piss - they taste like shit.

Put 'em in the scuppers with a hosepipe on 'em.
