Lamb kidney is soaked in vinegar water to strip its sharp smell, then simmered for a long time until tender. Thickened with an egg-lemon liaison, the soup is served hot with cumin and chilli flakes.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the kidney

10 min

Trim the fat from the lamb kidney and dice it.

2

Soak in vinegar water

30 min

Soak the diced kidney in plenty of vinegar water for 30 minutes; this step noticeably cuts the sharp smell.

3

Start boiling

10 min

Drain the kidney and rinse it with clean water, put it in a pot with the onion, cover with water, and bring to a boil, skimming off the first foam.

4

Simmer

90 min

Add the cumin, chilli flakes and salt, cover, and simmer on low heat for 90 minutes until the kidney is tender.

5

Thicken with the liaison

15 min

Whisk the eggs with the lemon juice, then temper them by slowly stirring in a ladle of hot broth, and add the mixture back to the soup, simmering for 15 more minutes while stirring.

Reminder

Do not skip the vinegar-water soak for the kidney, or the soup will pick up an ammonia smell that makes it undrinkable. Allergens: contains egg.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Dice the kidney too small and it falls apart during the long simmer, clouding the soup — go for medium cubes instead. When adding the liaison, remember to temper it first with a ladle of the hot broth stirred slowly into the egg, or it will curdle.

Böbreği ilk kez sirkeli suda bekleterek denedim ve gerçekten kokusundan eser kalmamış, ailem böbrek çorbası olduğunu fark etmedi bile. Terbiyeyi eklerken kepçeyle ısıtma kısmını atlamadım, yumurta hiç kesilmedi.
