Kidneys (pork, beef, sheep) are not the most popular of the sub-products of culinary specialists because of the specific odor caused by the functional characteristics of this organ. Meanwhile, the kidneys are an inexpensive product, pure meat with almost no fat, and if you cook it correctly, everything will turn out quite edible, unproductive and even tasty. For example, you can prepare the kidneys in sour cream.
Before preparing any dish from the kidneys, they must first be properly prepared.
Preparing the kidney for cooking
We cut each kidney in half along, with a knife, carefully remove the films and ureters. Soak the kidneys in cold water for several hours (from 2 to 8). Rinse, cut the halves of the kidneys across (or diagonally) slices, place in a bowl, abundantly sprinkled with baking soda, mix and leave for 20 minutes. After passing this time, pour a solution of natural wine or apple cider vinegar with water (ratio 1: 1).
After passing the reaction, thoroughly wash the kidney pieces with cold water. Beef or mutton kidneys are then boiled in a large amount of water for 5 minutes after boiling, then thrown back to a colander. Veal, pork and sheep buds can be cooked without preliminary digestion.
