Chicken hearts with spicy sauce
2 servings
60 minutes
Chicken hearts in a spicy sauce is an exquisite dish of French cuisine that combines the tender texture of offal with the rich, slightly spicy flavor of the marinade. This recipe is rooted in gastronomic traditions where the use of offal was considered an art. The hearts are first marinated in soy sauce with garlic, ginger, and lemon juice, giving them a pronounced spiciness. They are then carefully sautéed to retain their juiciness and rich flavor. The dish is perfect for serving on skewers, making it convenient for dinner in a cozy company. The hearts pair wonderfully with a light vegetable garnish or fresh baguette that helps highlight the richness of flavors. They can be served as an appetizer or main course while enjoying the delicate balance of spiciness, acidity, and umami.
