Gizdodo is name that people decided to give this tasty side that goes with Jollof-rice, Fried rice and the list goes on. Gizdodo is simply a combination of Gizzard and plantain. Fried plantain is popularly known as “dodo” in Nigeria, so it explains the dodo part of Gizdodo. As the saying goes, there are several ways to skin a cat. What you will find is several variations when it comes to making Gizdodo but I have put together an easy to follow step by step cooking instructions. It’s quite easy to make and will be ready in no time.
These dishes look delicious! I can't believe the gizzard dish looks so good. I have never cooked with gizzards and not sure I am up to the challenge.
ReplyDeletePlantains on the other hand are one of my favorites, any way they are prepared. I first had them when I spent a summer in Costa Rica in the early 90's. They called them platanos. They were baked with spices and sugar for a sweet dessert. We also had them fried and salted and dipped them in sour cream. I have had the Venezulan version called Tostones in a local Latin restaurant in KC. Yummo!
This looks delicious! I would love to try all of these dishes if I could and they seem like they're not to rich in fat which is a plus. You should make the Gizzard one and bring it to class for extra credit.
ReplyDeleteUUMMMM. Where is my invite to come over for dinner. This looks delicious. YUMMY
