Or one's _kidney_,--imagine, Dick,--done with champagne.
MOORE.
Having soaked a fresh kidney in cold water and dried it in a cloth, cut
it into mouthfuls, and then mince it fine; dust it with flour. Put some
butter into a stewpan over a moderate fire, and when it boils put in
the minced kidneys. When you have browned it in the butter, sprinkle on
a little salt and cayenne, and pour in a very little boiling water. Add
a glass of champagne, or other wine, or a large teaspoonful of mushroom
ketchup or walnut pickle; cover the pan closely, and let it stew till
the kidney is tender. Send it to table hot, in a covered dish. It is
eaten generally at breakfast.
