Recipe Introduction


I guess this would be considered a 'celebrity' dish.


List of Ingredients




18 Lamb kidneys
1/2 c Flour
Salt
Pepper, freshly ground
6 tb Butter
2 Shallots, minced
1/2 lb Mushrooms, minced
2 c Dry red wine
1/2 Bay leaf
1 tb Minced watercress
1 tb Minced celery
1/4 ts Thyme


Recipe



Soak the kidneys in cold water for 10 minutes.
Remove the membranes and connective tissue and cut the kidneys across in half.

Season the flour with the salt and pepper and dredge the kidneys.
Saute them in 4 tablespoons of the butter and set aside.
Add the shallots and mushrooms to the butter.
Sprinkle with two tablespoons of the dredging flour and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the wine, bay leaf, watercress, celery, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grindings of black pepper.
Stir well and add the kidneys; cover the skillet and simmer gently for 25 minutes.

When ready to serve, remove the bay leaf, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and correct the seasoning.
Serve over rice.
