The kidney being part of the loin is usually served with it, and a loin
of veal roasted without it would be considered worthless, but still the
loins may be dressed, as directed in the Removes, without the kidneys;
to stew them proceed as follows: cut three kidneys into thin slices, put
an ounce of butter into a convenient-sized stewpan, place over the fire,
and just as it begins to get brown throw in the kidneys, stir them over
the fire with a wooden spoon, and when they become firm add half a
tablespoonful of flour, stir it in, then add a glass of sherry, eight
spoonfuls of broth, and twenty mushrooms, let all boil together five
minutes, season with a little pepper, salt, nutmeg, and the juice of
half a lemon, if too thick add more broth, pour them on a dish and
serve, or they would look better served in a croustade of bread (No.
416) fried a nice yellow colour.
