Preparation

Step 1
Soften the onions and the apples with the garlic, celery and thyme in four tablespoons butter.
Step 2
In a separate pan, brown the giblets in the remaining tablespoon butter. Remove the liver and add the stock. Simmer over low heat for 45 minutes, or until the heart and gizzard are tender. Reserve the cooking liquid. Dice the heart, gizzard and liver and set aside.
