Moelas

Chicken gizzards does the heavy lifting here, with onion rounding it out. A Portuguese snack that takes 70 minutes, start to finish. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 48 grams of protein per serving. It scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Chicken gizzards
• 1 Onion
• 3 Tomatoes
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1/2 cup White wine
• 1/4 cup Olive oil
• 2 Bay leaf
• 1/4 cup Parsley

Steps

1. Simmer the gizzards in salted water 30 minutes until nearly tender; drain.
2. Soften the onion, garlic, and chopped tomatoes in olive oil into a rich sauce.
3. Add the gizzards, wine, and bay; braise 25 minutes until completely tender.
4. The sauce should reduce to a glossy coating, not a soup.
5. Season boldly with salt, pepper, and a pinch of chili.
6. Serve in small bowls with bread for mopping; the ultimate tavern petisco.
