Instructions
If your chicken gizzards are large, cut each one into bite-size pieces.
In a frying pan, heat enough cooking oil to reach a depth of two inches.
Fry the cubed saba bananas until nicely browned on the edges. Scoop out and set aside.
Pour off the oil leaving only about a tablespoonful. Reheat.
Over medium heat, saute the gizzards and chopped onion until the gizzards are lightly browned and the onion pieces are translucent.
Add the thyme, turmeric and cayenne. Saute for another half a minute.
Turn up the heat. Add the bell peppers and stir fry just until done, about one minute. Taste and add salt, if needed.
Add the fried saba bananas to the gizzards and stir fry just until heated through.
Serve the chicken gizzards and saba banana stir fry immediately.
