Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound chicken gizzards
6 to 8 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup olive oil
1 onion, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
12 ounces water
2 cups long grain rice
Chunk of Parmesan, for shaving

Steps:

  • Boil gizzards in a small pot of water for 10 minutes. Drain and let cool and clean. Blend in food processor or blender until pieces are very small.
  • Simmer chicken broth in separate pot, keeping it hot.
  • Heat oil (medium heat) in a large saucepan. Add onions. Season with salt and pepper, and saute for 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute. Add gizzards, tomato paste and water. Season again with salt and pepper and simmer for 45 minutes.
  • Add rice and stir to coat. Add 1 cup of hot chicken broth. When the stock is absorbed into the rice, add 1 more cup (remember to stir the rice constantly during this process). Repeat until all broth is absorbed and the rice is tender. Add more salt and pepper if necessary. Serve with Parmesan.

This risotto was a bit disappointing. The rice was overcooked and the flavors were bland. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This risotto was amazing! It was creamy, flavorful, and packed with shrimp. I will definitely be making this again.

This risotto was a bit too complicated for my taste. I prefer simpler recipes that don't require a lot of ingredients or steps.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but this risotto was still very good. The rice was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were flavorful. I would definitely make this again, but I would use chicken or beef instead of shrimp.

This risotto was a bit too rich for my taste. I would recommend using less butter and cream next time.

This risotto was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was still a good dish. I would recommend using less salt in the recipe next time.

I've tried many risotto recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's the perfect balance of creamy and cheesy, with just the right amount of seafood flavor. Will definitely be making this again and again!
