Method

  1. 1

    Rinse the kidneys, pat them very dry and snip out any white core with scissors. Season with half the salt and the pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil and half the butter in a large frying pan over a high heat. Fry the kidneys for 2 minutes on each side until browned, then tip onto a plate. Do not crowd the pan.

    4 min
  3. 3

    Add the remaining butter and the mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes until golden, then add the shallots and garlic and cook for 2 minutes.

    7 min
  4. 4

    Pour in the wine and let it bubble for 2 minutes. Stir in the cream and mustard and simmer for 2 minutes until it coats a spoon.

    4 min
  5. 5

    Return the kidneys and their juices to the pan. Warm through for 1 minute, no more, so they stay tender. Add the lemon juice, parsley and the rest of the salt.

    1 min
  6. 6

    Put the hot buttered toast on two plates and spoon the kidneys and sauce over the top. Eat straight away.
