Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 kidneys, about 1 pound each, without external surface fat
3/4 pound mushrooms
5 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup fresh or canned beef broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons corn, peanut or vegetable oil
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Cut each kidney crosswise into quarters. Cut away and discard most but not all of the firm interior white fat or core of each kidney. Cut the kidneys into bite-size cubes and set aside.
  • Cut the mushrooms into bite-size pieces. There should be about 4 cups.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan, and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms give up their liquid. Continue cooking until the liquid evaporates. Add 1 tablespoon of the shallots and the flour, and cook briefly, stirring. Add the wine, beef broth and tomato paste, and cook over high heat about 5 minutes or until reduced to 2 cups.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a wide, heavy skillet, and add half of the kidney pieces. Cook, shaking the skillet and stirring often, about 1 1/2 minutes. Line a mixing bowl with a sieve, and pour the kidneys into the sieve to drain.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet, and add the remaining kidney pieces. Cook about 1 1/2 minutes and drain, as above.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a casserole, and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of shallots. Cook briefly, and add the mushrooms in red-wine sauce, the kidneys, salt and pepper, and swirl in the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my kidneys turned out tough and chewy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now, and it's always a hit with my family and friends. The kidneys are always tender and juicy, and the red wine sauce is to die for.

The kidneys were a bit overcooked, but the red wine sauce was delicious. I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll cook the kidneys for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The red wine sauce was very heavy, and the kidneys were a bit too gamey for me. I think I'll stick to chicken or beef next time.
