• Nigerian Peppered Gizzard Recipe

    As I write this post, Nigerian citizens are gearing up for the inauguration of a new president of Nigeria. This is a very significant time for Nigerians as for the first time in a long time, they feel like their voices were heard in terms of the voting process. The hashtag #Changeishere seems to be trending on twitter every other day as the citizens are debating what changes would be made first and what direction the new president should take in reforming Nigeria. We at this point are very hopeful for the best and cannot wait to see the amazing changes that would come with the new government in power. As we await these changes, I thought to myself what would be the perfect meal to go with this day of relaxation? Something light to snack on while watching the ceremony would be my favourite recipe of Nigerian peppered gizzard. I paired it with boiled corn this time as I here corn is starting to come into season in Nigeria. It is very simple to make especially if you have guests coming over and you are making large pots of amazing dishes. While they wait, you can wet their appetite with this simple appetizer.

      Question: The boiled gizzard is dished on to a plate and the sauce dished on top of the boiled gizzard?

      You didn’t mention what to do with the boiled gizzard. At what point do you combine the boiled gizzard with the peppered sauce

        Thank you for bringing this to my attention. The second line that said toss in the garlic, i meant to type gizzard. I have corrected it now 🙂
