DEVILED KIDNEYS

As I mention above, I prefer to use deer kidneys here, but lamb or pork kidneys also work well. And if you had a lot of little rabbit kidneys, they'd work, too. This dish is best served immediately after making it.

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ pound fresh mushrooms, (cut into large-ish pieces (optional))
2 to 4 deer kidneys
¼ cup flour
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 ½ teaspoons dry mustard, (Coleman's if you can get it)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, (divided)
Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons chicken, (venison or beef stock)

Steps:

  • Clean and trim the kidneys as above. Cut each half into 3 or 4 pieces. If you are using the mushrooms, sear them in a hot pan with 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter until nicely browned on their edges. Remove them and set aside for the moment.
  • Mix the flour with the cayenne, mustard, salt, and black pepper, and dust the kidneys with it.
  • Get the pan very hot, then add 3 more tablespoons of butter. Brown the kidneys in the butter. You may need to press them down with a spatula, as they will want to arch upwards. Turn and cook another minute or two. Remove them and cut into pieces you'd like to eat.
  • Return the kidneys and the mushrooms to the pan and add a big splash of Worcestershire and the stock, and shake the pan to meld everything together. Let this cook for a minute or two.
  • Remove the kidneys and mushrooms and set them on top of your toast and boil down the sauce for a few minutes-don't let it boil completely away-then pour it over everything and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh kidneys: Look for kidneys that are firm and pinkish-brown in color. Avoid kidneys that are discolored or have an off odor.
  • Soak the kidneys before cooking: This will help to remove impurities and reduce the strong flavor of the kidneys.
  • Use a sharp knife to remove the white connective tissue from the kidneys: This will help to tenderize the kidneys and make them easier to eat.
  • Cook the kidneys over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Do not overcook the kidneys: They should be cooked until they are just tender, but still slightly pink in the center.
  • Season the kidneys with your favorite herbs and spices: This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Serve the kidneys immediately: They are best enjoyed when they are hot and fresh.
