Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat a large, heavy pot. Heat the oil until it's hot, add the gizzards and hearts, Creole seasoning, thyme, sage, and marjoram, and saute over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Add the onions, peppers, and garlic, and saute for 8 minutes more, or until browned and tender. Gently stir in the rice. Add the water and bring to a boil, stirring only briefly and gently to make sure the rice is not sticking to the bottom of the pot. Cover and simmer for 13 - 15 minutes, or until the rice absorbs most of the liquid and is tender. If the rice is not tender at this point, add a bit more liquid and continue cooking.
Step 2
Remove from the heat. Fold the liver into the rice mixture with a fork, season with salt and pepper, cover, and set aside for 10 - 12 minutes. The heat from the rice will cook the liver. With the fork, gently stir in the green onions and parsley. Transfer to a serving bowl.
