Kidney Irish Stew

Cut an ox kidney into pieces about one and a half inches square, first removing the hard core out of the middle. Season with salt and pepper, and put it into a saucepan with an onion finely minced, and a quarter of a pint of water, or stock. Let the liquid boil, and remove the scum carefully; then put half a dozen large peeled potatoes into the pan, and simmer gently until they are sufficiently cooked, but unbroken. Put the kidney in the middle of a dish, arrange the potatoes round it, pour the gravy over all, and serve as hot as possible. Time, one hour to simmer the stew. Probable cost, 1s. 6d. Sufficient for three or four persons.
