A lesser-known dish made by cleaning lamb kidneys thoroughly, filling them with seasoned rice, and simmering them gently. Slow cooking tenderizes the kidneys and lets the kidneys absorb the flavor of the filling.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Clean the Kidneys

30 min

Soak the lamb kidneys, with the inner membranes removed, in plenty of vinegar water for 30 minutes, then rinse. Cut a pocket in the center of each kidney for the filling.

2

Prepare the Filling

10 min

Sauté the finely chopped onion in butter until golden. Add the rinsed rice, grated tomato, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, and sauté for a few minutes.

3

Stuff the Kidneys

10 min

Fill the kidneys with the partially cooked rice mixture without packing it tightly, then close the openings with toothpicks.

4

Simmer Gently

50 min

Arrange the stuffed kidneys in a wide pot and add a little water. Cover and simmer over low heat until the rice and kidneys are tender.

Reminder

Soak the kidneys in vinegar water before stuffing them; skipping this step can leave a strong odor after cooking. Allergen: contains milk and dairy products.
