Beef Kidney, To Dress (IN- GREDIENTS for small dish)

IN- GREDIENTS for small dish.-1 kidney, 1 dessertspoonful of minced parsley, 1 teaspoonful of minced shalot, salt and pepper to tastle, 1/4 pint of gravy (follow one of the gravy recipes); if there be no gravy or stock at hand, 2 tablespoonfuls of sherry. AVER- AGE COST, 1s. 3d.

Take off a little of the kidney fat, mince it very fine, and put it in a frying-pan; slice the kidney, sprinkle over it parsley and shalots in the above proportion, add a seasoning of pepper and salt, and fry it of a nice brown. When it is done enough, dredge over a little flour, and pour in the gravy and sherry. Let it just simmer, but not boil any more, or the kidney would harden; serve very hot, and garnish with croûtons. Where the flavour of the shalot is disliked it may be omitted, and a small quatity of savoury herbs substituted for it.

TIME. From 5 to 10 minutes, according to the thickness of the slices.

SEASONABLE at any time.
