Chicken hearts "in Italian"

Description

Glad to introduce you a recipe of chicken hearts in the Italian style. What is meant by "Italian style"? Of course the use of tomatoes, peppers, garlic, a characteristic of Italian kitchen herbs (Basil, oregano) and olive oil from the first pressing, which is most often referred to simply as evoo (extra virgin olive oil).

Ingredients

The pie

1 kg
Tomato

6 piece
Pepper

2 piece
Garlic

4 tooth
Carrots

2 piece
Onion

2 piece
Basil
Oregano
Black pepper
Vegetable oil
Olive oil
Butter

Cooking

Defrost chicken hearts and wash well in water. Remove the film, it is very easy to do by hand. Drain off the water.

Pepper and carrots cut into long strips, but not very thin. Cut onion into small cubes or thin half-rings. I chopped haphazardly, because onions got a very vigorous :) Tomatoes cut into slices or cubes. Before that you scald them with boiling water and remove the skin and grind in a blender. Twig don't throw away, we need it. Grind the garlic with a knife. You can use a garlic press, but in this case take less than 2 times of garlic, otherwise it will very much be felt.

Will cook in a slow cooker, but you can also cook this dish in a small wok or a deep frying pan, not much difference. Further, according to the recipe, for convenience, I will call our utensils for cooking pan. Lay the hearts in a well-heated pan. They have a lot of fat, so oil is not going to add (yet).

Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally. After 7 minutes of seeing a picture - made liquid and fat.

We need to remove almost all the liquid from the pan, it is convenient to do the ladle. I have this funny plastic mini ladle for a slow cooker :) From kilogram hearts turned full soup plate fat with liquid. A small amount we use, and the remainder can be frozen and then add to broth for soups.

Lay the bow. Diminish the heat to medium and cook 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until transparent onion. If little fat - add a little from our plates.

Lay the carrots with pepper.

Now the most important thing - immediately after laying of carrot with pepper add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil, a tablespoon of sunflower oil and a little butter. Such variety of fat will positively affect the taste of our meals. Also lay the stem of the tomatoes entirely. It gives the same "tomato flavor". Before laying her course need a good wash. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 7-10 minutes. Remove the sprig.

Next, we apply the garlic and add our seasoning to taste. If you are not convinced by the amount of Basil and oregano, a teaspoon without slides, and black pepper half a teaspoon, can't go wrong. Mix well. Carefully, from the smell, you can go crazy :) Give spices about 3 minutes to open up.

Add the tomatoes. Only now you can salt. I added about a tablespoon without slides or less. Diminish the heat to below average and bring to readiness under a cover, stirring every 5 minutes. It will take 30-40 minutes. Once the liquid turns red - turn off the heat.

Serve with pasta or mashed potatoes. Before serving garnish to pour the liquid. Bon appetit!
