So it was my mum’s birthday last Saturday. I had no formal arrangement for the celebration (get together) which was to take place at my sister’s house. While counting down to the proposed time, my other sibling suggested I re-visit one of my favourite recipes, so that we can give her a treat.
Gizdodo/Gizdo as it’s usually called has been one of my favourite meal/recipe ever since I had a taste of it. Most of us from the south-south and south-east have no idea about this special delicacy. But, not to worry, there’s usually a first time. Get ready to twist your traditional Christmas menu. So, let me get down to details.

INGREDIENTS:
Vegetable oil, Plantain (5-6pieeces), Gizzard(chicken or turkey) – 1kilo, scotch bonnet chillies/atarado/atarubu/ose ndu,red bell pepper(tatashae), fresh tomatoes, white bulb onions, spring onions, ginger and garlic clove, green pepper, green pea, carrot, nutmeg , benny, stock cube, curry and thyme

1ST STEP:
*Get everything ready in order to make your cooking easier and simple.
*Slice all your vegetables and set it aside.
*Blend your tomatoe, atarado and tatashae(half blend,don’t blend to paste).
*Slice your plantain in small cubes and set aside.*slice your gizzard same way you sliced your plantain.

2ND STEP:
*Boil your Gizzard, spice it to your taste (watch the salt level).
*Extract the gizzard from it’s stock when its ready, set aside in a sieve.
*Fry your plantain and set aside in a bowl/sieve.
*Heat you vegetable oil and then add your white bulb onions, stir fry a little and then add the blended vegetables(tomatoe, tatashae and atarado).
*Add a little nutmeg, ginger and garlic clove, then add your seasonings(benny and stock cube).
*When your sauce is ready, add your gizzard and allow to heat for like 5-10mins.
*Then add your sliced vegetables and stir.*Finally, add your plantain and stir, allow to heat for about 5-10mins(optional).
N:B - Less of fresh tomatoes, More of pepper

Your GIZDO is ready! So back to my story, my mum loved her surprise birthday meal treat and a guest requested for the recipe. I felt so happy and fulfilled at the end of the get together.
