Sautéed Kidneys In Red Wine Sauce Recipes

LAMBS' KIDNEYS IN RED WINE

Steps:

• Begin by melting the butter in a pan and softening the onion and garlic in it for 5 minutes. After that add the chopped bacon and the mushrooms, and cook for a further 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the kidneys: cut them in half and remove the skins, then snip out the cores with a pair of kitchen scissors. Now add the halved kidneys to the pan and cook them to colour a little, stirring them around the pan. Next sprinkle in the flour and stir it to soak up the juices, then add the thyme and pour in the red wine. Bring the whole lot to simmering point; season with salt (not too much, because of the bacon) and pepper. Then cover the pan and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Then remove the lid and simmer for a further 10 minutes.

VEAL KIDNEYS IN RED-WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut each kidney crosswise into quarters. Cut away and discard most but not all of the firm interior white fat or core of each kidney. Cut the kidneys into bite-size cubes and set aside.
• Cut the mushrooms into bite-size pieces. There should be about 4 cups.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan, and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms give up their liquid. Continue cooking until the liquid evaporates. Add 1 tablespoon of the shallots and the flour, and cook briefly, stirring. Add the wine, beef broth and tomato paste, and cook over high heat about 5 minutes or until reduced to 2 cups.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a wide, heavy skillet, and add half of the kidney pieces. Cook, shaking the skillet and stirring often, about 1 1/2 minutes. Line a mixing bowl with a sieve, and pour the kidneys into the sieve to drain.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet, and add the remaining kidney pieces. Cook about 1 1/2 minutes and drain, as above.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a casserole, and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of shallots. Cook briefly, and add the mushrooms in red-wine sauce, the kidneys, salt and pepper, and swirl in the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

• Add the wine and cook for another minute or so; return the kidneys to the pan and add salt to taste.

SAUTEED CHICKEN IN RED-WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.

• Add the mushrooms, onions, shallots and garlic and stir to blend over high heat for about 3 minutes.
• Remove most of the fat and sprinkle the flour evenly over all. Stir and cook for one minute.
• Add the Cognac and ignite it quickly. Add the wine, chicken broth, bouquet garni, salt and pepper. Stir and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook 20 minutes or until tender. Remove the cover and simmer to reduce the sauce if necessary. Remove the bouquet garni and serve.
