Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make chicken hearts with rice? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Take medium-sized onions and carrots. Any type of rice will do. Check that there is no debris or impurities in the cereal, and that the grains are whole and even. Vegetable oil should be odorless. Use spices according to your taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Frozen hearts must first be thawed. Remove the packaging and leave them overnight on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Rinse the hearts under running water and let them drain. Clean off excess fat and blood. If necessary, rinse again. Finely chop the hearts. This way they will cook faster and better impart their flavor to the cereal.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel and rinse carrots and onions. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Finely chop the onion. In this form, the vegetables will fry faster, and when stewing, they will give the rice a beautiful color.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cook the hearts in a thick-bottomed frying pan or cauldron. Heat the frying pan over medium heat. Pour the required amount of vegetable oil onto it. After a minute, transfer the chopped hearts to the pan. Stirring, fry them for about 3 minutes over medium heat so that the hearts are evenly fried, but do not dry out. If you see that the hearts are starting to dry out, reduce the heat.

5. STEP 5

   

   After the hearts, add carrots to the pan, as they take longer to cook than onions. Fry, stirring, for 3-4 minutes. Since everyone's stove is different, control the temperature. If food starts to stick to the pan, lower the heat.

6. STEP 6

   

   Then add the onion and fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes. Don't forget to stir. Salt and add spices to taste. If you are using a pre-made spice mixture that contains salt, reduce the amount of salt you add. Otherwise, you can over-salt and spoil the taste of the dish. Rinse the rice in several waters until the water runs clear. Add it to the pan. Stir until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add 2 cups room temperature water to the pan. This way the food will not cool down and the water will boil quickly. Cover with a lid and simmer over low heat. After 15 minutes, remove the lid. If there is almost no water left, leave covered for another 5 minutes. If there is a lot of water, remove the lid and continue cooking until the water evaporates. Let the finished dish sit for another 10 minutes. Bon appetit!

My family loves offal, in particular chicken hearts. True, I always just fried them with onions, until I came across this recipe. I thought that chicken hearts with rice are a complete dish and there is no need to bother with a side dish. I soaked the hearts in cold water for 30 minutes, and, according to the author’s advice, peeled and finely chopped. I fried the hearts with vegetables, salted them and added cumin. In my opinion, this is the ideal spice for rice dishes. She laid out the rice and poured water. In 30 minutes we had a delicious and satisfying dinner without any problems.
