Chicken hearts with rice

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients for cooking chicken hearts with rice. Take a medium-sized onion and carrot. Rice is suitable for any variety. Check that there is no debris and impurities in the cereal, and the grains are whole and even. Vegetable oil should be odorless. Take spices according to your taste. The hearts should be fresh, don't forget to check the expiration date.

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, let them drain. Get rid of excess fat and blood. If necessary, rinse again. Finely chop the hearts. This way they will cook faster and give their flavor to the cereal better.

3. Step 3:

   

   Peel and rinse the 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 shade.

4. Step 4:

   

   Cook the hearts in a frying pan with a thick bottom or in a cauldron. Preheat a frying pan over medium heat. Pour the required amount of vegetable oil into it. After a minute, transfer the crushed hearts to the pan. Stir-fry for 3 minutes on a higher-than-average heat so that the hearts are evenly fried, but not over-dried. If you see that the hearts are starting to dry out, turn down the heat under the pan.

6. Step 5:

   

   After the hearts, send carrots to the pan, as it takes longer to cook than onions. Stir-fry for 3 minutes. Since everyone has different plates, then control the temperature. If the products begin to stick to the pan, make the fire quieter.

7. Step 6:

   

   Then add the onion and fry all together for another 3 minutes. Do not forget to stir. Add salt and spices. If you take a ready-made spice mixture that contains salt, reduce the amount of salt added. Otherwise, you can over-salt and spoil the taste of the dish. Rinse the rice in several waters until the water becomes clear. Add it to the pan. Mix everything so that the ingredients are evenly distributed.

8. Step 7:

   

   Add 2 cups of room temperature water to the pan. So the products will not cool down and the water will boil quickly. If you have high-quality tap water, use it. Cover with a lid and simmer over low heat. After 15 minutes, remove the lid. If there is almost no water left, leave it under the lid for another 5 minutes. If there is enough water, remove the lid and continue cooking until the water evaporates. Leave the finished dish to infuse for another 10 minutes.
