Robbing bastards. Thought I'd treat myself to a steak and kidney pud the other night, not had one in years. No chunks of meat to speak of, certainly no kidney that i could taste, mostly gravy, in summary it looked hee haw like this: please log in to view this image Never again.
I was hoping this was about the city in Uruguay. Why spoil a steak pie by putting kidneys in it? Even though there was no steak or kidneys.
I like a steak and kidney pie. Devilled kidneys are superb, especially my recipe. I can post it if you like.
Don't know,think WhatsApp was the death of him and there could be a couple more casualties before the week is out!
Devilled Kidneys 8-12 fresh kidneys (lamb or pork) 1/2 pint chicken stock 2 tablespoons plain flour 2 tablespoons tomato puree 2 teaspoons garlic puree (to taste) 2 teaspoons English mustard (to taste) 4 rashers bacon 200g mushrooms Salt & pepper 1/2 teaspoon paprika (to taste) Worcestershire sauce - approx. 2 teaspoons 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs 1 tablespoon olive oil Long grain white rice (per person) Core the kidneys, cut into approx. 1" pieces and toss in seasoned flour, fry in oil on a medium heat until browned Add chopped bacon and put remaining flour from coating kidneys into pan & allow flour to cook for 2 minutes Add stock and stir so flour/lumps are absorbed Add tomato puree and stir well, add in mustard (more or less depending on how hot you like it) add garlic to taste if wanted Add a couple of dashes of Worcestershire sauce, doesn't have to be that accurate Add dried herbs or fresh herbs of choice - coriander or parsley works well Put in button mushrooms whole or quartered mushrooms if close cup variety, can be added with the bacon if you prefer mushrooms well cooked Add paprika to taste depending on how hot you want it Salt & pepper to taste. Leave on simmer for however long your rice takes to cook, drain rice and serve. Should do for four people. All measurements are a guide, I've done this so many times the ratios always vary but tomato puree and English mustard is where the taste comes from so put however much of each in as you prefer.
Bung it in the micro for half an hour, unopened of course, and hey presto, Bob's your Uncle Dev. Perhaps he is indeed your uncle. I had an Uncle Bob once but that's another hilarious story altogether.
