2 to 3 kidneys per person, maximum 2-3 minutes of cooking time, that's the key to avoid a rubbery texture. Here we sauté them very quickly in olive oil, then coat them with a port and mustard sauce with a hint of orange marmalade and mushrooms. Serve with fries.

2 to 3 kidneys per person

crème fraîche
1 tbsp sweet mustard
2 tsp orange marmalade
0.4 cup (100 ml) port wine
7 oz (200 g) sliced mushrooms
olive oil
parsley

Step-by-step directions

1 Cut the kidneys in half. Trim them by removing the skin and fat surrounding them. Rinse them carefully under water and let them soak in cold salted water for half an hour. Rinse them again.

2 Pat them dry with paper towels and cut them into pieces. Season with salt and pepper. In a deep skillet, sauté the kidney pieces very quickly in olive oil (2 to 3 minutes, no more, or they become tough and rubbery), stirring with a wooden spoon. Keep warm.

3 In the cooking juices from the kidneys, add the port wine, mustard, orange marmalade, and mushrooms.

4 Cook over low heat for a few moments and add the crème fraîche. Reduce by half. Adjust seasoning. Serve on a warm plate, the kidney pieces coated with sauce and sprinkled with chopped parsley. Best enjoyed with fries.
