Sauteed Kidneys Recipes

LAMBS' KIDNEYS IN RED WINE

Steps:

• Begin by melting the butter in a pan and softening the onion and garlic in it for 5 minutes. After that add the chopped bacon and the mushrooms, and cook for a further 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the kidneys: cut them in half and remove the skins, then snip out the cores with a pair of kitchen scissors. Now add the halved kidneys to the pan and cook them to colour a little, stirring them around the pan. Next sprinkle in the flour and stir it to soak up the juices, then add the thyme and pour in the red wine. Bring the whole lot to simmering point; season with salt (not too much, because of the bacon) and pepper. Then cover the pan and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Then remove the lid and simmer for a further 10 minutes.

SAUTEED VEAL KIDNEYS WITH ROASTED SHALLOTS, MADEIRA AND CREAM

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place shallots in a roasting pan or casserole dish. Rub with vegetable oil, cover and roast until soft, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, split kidneys lengthwise and remove nerve and core from each side. Slice clean kidneys into silver-dollar-size pieces. Set aside.
• Squeeze roasted shallots out of their skins. Reserve 4 whole shallots for garnish and chop remainder. Place a large skillet over medium-low heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add chopped shallots and saute until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add Madeira and saute until reduced to a glaze. Stir in cream and simmer until reduced by half. Remove from heat.
• Place a clean skillet over medium heat, and add remaining butter and the olive oil. When butter melts, add kidneys and saute until browned on all sides. Remove kidneys from pan, pour out any liquid in pan, and return kidneys to pan. Add cream sauce and simmer until kidneys are cooked to medium (pink inside) and glazed with sauce. Add parsley and chives. To serve, place equal portions on four plates, and garnish each with a whole roasted shallot. If desired, serve with sauteed spinach.
