Nobre Moelas de Frango 420g (Chicken Gizzards in Sauce)
£3.29
Nobre Moelas de Frango 420g (Chicken Gizzards in Sauce) is a staple of Portuguese "Petiscos" (tapas) culture, offering a tender, flavorful delicacy that is a favorite in taverns and family gatherings across Portugal. Nobre has prepared these according to a traditional recipe, simmering them in a rich, aromatic tomato and wine-based sauce.
Product Overview
- The Texture: Through a careful slow-cooking process, the gizzards lose their natural toughness and become tender while maintaining a satisfying "bite".
- The Sauce: A savoury, slightly spicy "molho" made with tomato, onion, garlic, and white wine, perfectly seasoned to be the star of the dish.
- High Protein: Naturally lean and packed with protein, making it a hearty choice for a main meal or a substantial appetiser.
Key Serving Suggestions
-
The Classic Petisco: Heat and serve in a clay bowl with plenty of crusty bread (Pão de Mafra) to dip into the rich sauce.
-
Main Course: Serve over a bed of white rice or with boiled potatoes to transform this appetizer into a full, comforting meal.
-
The Beer Pairing: In Portugal, Moelas are the ultimate partner for a cold Super Bock or Sagres beer—the savoury sauce perfectly balances the crispness of a lager.
