Ingredients
8 lamb kidneys, halved and core removed
2 tbsp butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup beef or chicken stock
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp tomato ketchup
1 tsp lemon juice
4 slices bread, toasted and buttered
Instructions
Rinse kidneys and pat dry. Cut each in half and remove the white core. Slice each half into 2-3 pieces.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add kidneys and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned but still pink inside. Remove and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium. Add onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in flour, mustard powder, cayenne, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in stock, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until thickened.
Return kidneys to the skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until heated through and sauce coats the kidneys.
Serve immediately on buttered toast.
Tips
For milder heat, reduce cayenne to 1/4 teaspoon.
Can be garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Leftover kidneys can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
