Today, almost everything is prepared from this delicious offal, from the first courses to salads. Moreover, these dishes are good not only in the family circle, they will look great on the festive table.
Potted Chicken Hearts
To prepare this delicious dish (for five pots) we need:
- 0.5 kg of chicken hearts
- 300 g champignon
- 5 pieces. potato (medium size)
- 1 PC. carrots
- 1 PC. onions
- 4 garlic cloves
- 200g cheese
- 350 ml cream (20%)
- salt, pepper, spices
Before starting to cook chicken hearts, it is advisable to fill them with cold and slightly salted water and leave for an hour.
Shred the vegetables and fry over medium heat for five minutes (until soft).
Fry the sliced mushrooms until all of the moisture comes out.
Chicken hearts can not be cut, but fried whole, sprinkled with salt and pepper for twenty minutes.
Peeled potatoes are cut into large cubes.
At the bottom of each pot, lay the potatoes, add a little and add a piece of butter. We spread mushrooms with the next layer, and chicken hearts on top. Sprinkle all this with spices (you can take a mixture of savory, oregano and basil) and put the prepared vegetables, pouring the cream into pots about halfway. Sprinkle with grated cheese on top.
We put in the oven preheated to 220 degrees.
Cooking time is thirty minutes. I would like to note that some housewives stack all the ingredients raw in layers. In this case, the top of the pot is covered with a circle of rolled dumplings dough mixed in milk. This kind of lid is very tasty and may well replace bread.
