Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Kidneys

    Start by cleaning the veal kidneys. Remove any membranes and fat, and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.

  2. 2

    Sauté Shallots

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté until they are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Kidneys

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cleaned kidneys to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are browned on the outside but still tender inside.

  4. 4

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it reduce for about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Cream and Mustard

    Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Mix well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  6. 6

    Season

    Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the veal kidneys hot, drizzled with the mustard sauce. Enjoy with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes.
