Stewed Pig's Kidneys

Put a couple of pig's kidneys in a little cold water and steep them for a few minutes. Take them out, drain, cut them into slices and put them in a saucepan together with two ounces of butter, one tablespoonful of flour, half as much minced parsley, two chives, one saltspoonful of pepper, and a wineglassful of Madeira; place the pan on the fire and cook the contents gently without letting them boil for fifteen minutes. They must be stirred constantly, as they are very likely to burn. When done, put them on a dish, and serve very hot. Pig's kidneys may also be cooked in the same way as sheep's if desired.
