Hi everyone!

How are you? Recently, we have written a lot about vegetable dishes. Indeed, it's summer now. Heavy food is reluctant to eat. I want light and cold soups, for example. Or it would be fine for dinner.

But among the abundance of vegetables and fruits, do not forget about meat. It is a source of proteins - the building blocks for our body. Therefore, once or twice a week in the summer, you can afford a meat dish. And today I propose to consider healthy recipes for fried chicken hearts.

Why hearts, you ask? Because they are quite affordable and offal can be bought at any butcher's shop. In addition, they are not too fatty and at the same time satisfying. And also these offal go well with vegetables, cereals and pasta for a side dish. They are used to prepare pilaf, soups and pâtés. And I have not listed all the dishes.

I will add that chicken hearts cook very quickly, unlike other types of meat. Therefore, it takes a little time to cook, from 15 to 40 minutes. And this is another plus, when in the summer you do not want to steam at a hot stove.

Step-by-step recipe for making fried hearts with onions in a pan

The first recipe is the easiest to prepare. And here I will tell you how to properly clean chicken offal from film and excess vessels. I will not describe this process any more. Therefore, with subsequent options, you can return here and just remember how it is done.

We need:

• Chilled chicken hearts - 800-900 gr;
• Onions - 2 large pieces;
• Vegetable oil - 4-5 tablespoons;
• Salt and pepper to taste.

Preparation:

1. Not always, but there is a film on some offal. It can be easily removed with a sharp knife. And from the thick part of the heart, cut off excess fat and veins.

2. At the top of each heart we make 2 longitudinal cuts. There are blood vessels there. We clean the stagnant blood a little with our fingers, and rinse the rest under water.

3. The next step is to wash each giblet under the tap. To do this, take a colander and put all the meat there.

4. All excess blood will drain. Leave the hearts in a colander for a few minutes to drain the water. You can leave it in the sink or place a bowl underneath it.

5. We peel the onion from the turnip. Cut it into quarters of rings on a kitchen board.

6. Put a wide frying pan with a thick bottom on the fire. Pour oil on the bottom and heat it up. Place the cut onion.

7. We do not waste time and put our hearts in the pan. Add salt and black pepper to taste. These spices are sufficient for a simple recipe.

Do not forget to stir the fragrant mass with a spatula from time to time.

8. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes on medium heat.

9. After 25-30 minutes, fry the food for 5-7 minutes with the lid open over high heat. During this time, excess moisture will evaporate.

Serve the finished dish hot to the table. For a side dish, you can boil potatoes with dill or boiled buckwheat porridge with butter.
