saute until gizzards browned (about 5 minutes), stirring
occasionally.
Reduce heat to medium and add garlic, seasoning mix and flour; cook
until flour is a rich brown color
(about 3 minutes). Stir frequently
and scrape pan bottom well. Add stock; bring to boil on high heat and
simmer for
about 5 minutes; keep stirring. Stir in livers and
continue simmering until gravy reduced to about 3 cups (about 10
minutes).
Continue to stir. Be careful
on the cayenne - can be "warm".
