1 chicken with liver and gizzard
1 spring onion(1)
6 hard-boiled eggs
(1) Presumably diced
Separate the hard-boiled egg yolks and mix with salad or olive oil(2).
Dice chicken and season with salt and pepper.
Heat lard in a pan and fry spring onion until well browned. Put in the chicken and fry for a while, then add a little water and boil for 10 minutes.
Before serving put in the liver and gizzard and cook for a few minutes and add the egg yolks.
