French Kidney Stew

Slice, season, and fry in 2 ounces of butter 2 fine veal kidneys which have been soaked and parboiled. These must be cut into dice, and then added, parsley, pepper, and salt. Merely brown the kidneys, or they will be tough. Now mix 3 sliced mushrooms with 1/2 cup of stock or consomme, thickened with flour and some butter, juice of a lemon, and a glass of sherry. Boil and pour over the kidneys, previously placed on slices of toast. BRAISED CALF'S LIVER (as cooked in Italy.) Boil and lard a fine fresh liver. Put it in a dish with 1/4 pound of chopped bacon, 2 carrots, 2 onions, parsley, thyme, a bayleaf, salt, and pepper, and a pint of consomme. Cook 2 hours, add 1 cup of stewed tomatoes and a tablespoonful of sherry wine. Strain and reduce the sauce, after cooking 20 minutes longer. Brown the liver with a little flour, sprinkled over, and pour the sauce around, with 6 freshly fried mushrooms, and a border of cooked spaghetti.
