Equipment

  • Large frying pan
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups

Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams Chicken hearts
  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 large Onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • To taste Salt

Instructions
 

Step 1 – Prepare the Chicken Hearts

  • Rinse the chicken hearts under cold water and pat them dry.
  • Trim off any fat and cut each heart in half.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Note: Ensuring the hearts are dry and well-seasoned is key to a good sear.

Step 2 – Cook the Onion and Garlic

  • Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic.
  • Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 3 – Add the Chicken Hearts

  • Increase the heat to medium-high.
  • Add the chicken hearts to the pan and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned on all sides.
  • Warning: Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will cause the hearts to steam rather than sear.

Step 4 – Season and Simmer

  • Sprinkle the paprika and oregano over the chicken hearts.
  • Stir well to coat evenly.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for another 10 minutes.
  • Fact: Paprika not only adds flavor but also a vibrant color to the dish, making it more appealing.

Notes

  • If you find the flavor too intense, you can soften it by adding a splash of chicken broth during the simmering process.
  • For an extra kick, a pinch of chili flakes goes wonderfully with this dish.
