    • Rinse gizzards under cold water
    • Remove any yellowish membranes or connective tissue
    • Cut into bite-sized pieces
  2. Sear (Optional)
    • Heat oil in a pot; brown gizzards for 3–4 minutes per side
  3. Braise Until Tender
    • Add onions, garlic, herbs, and broth
    • Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook 60–90 minutes until fork-tender
  4. Finish & Serve
