Preparation

Sauté Aromatics

  • In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped shallots and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Cook the Kidneys

  • Add the cleaned beef kidneys to the skillet. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden-brown.

Add Broth and Herbs

  • Gradually pour in 1 cup of vegetable broth and add herbs like thyme or parsley. Stir gently to combine.

Simmer

  • Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes until tender. Avoid overcooking to prevent toughness.

Season to Taste

  • Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Add a splash of lemon juice if the flavor is too strong.

Finish and Serve

  • Once the kidneys are tender and the sauce has thickened, remove from heat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
