Kidneys with White Port
The kidneys one is most likely to come across here are pigs although this recipe works equally well with lambs. White Port is a delicious drink but if you have none then dry sherry or white wine may be substituted.
500g pigs Kidneys
3 Shallots or 1 Onion finely chopped
200g Mushrooms chopped
200ml White Port
Olive Oil
Vinegar
Parsley
Clean the kidneys of any membrane and core and slice thinly. Soak in vinegared water for 30 mins. Drain and dry kidney slices and sauté quickly in olive oil. Remove kidneys from pan and soften the shallots in the oil. Add the port and bring to the boil to reduce. Add the mushrooms and cook for 10 mins. Return kidneys to the pan and simmer for a further 10 mins. Serve with triangles of fried bread and garnished with lots of chopped parsley.
