Jamie Oliver Devilled Kidneys Recipe

Jamie Oliver Devilled Kidneys

Devilled kidneys are lamb kidneys cooked in a spiced sauce made with mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and a hint of cayenne. This traditional dish is both hearty and flavorful, offering a deliciously unique taste of British cuisine.

Ingredients

  • Lamb kidneys: 8, cleaned and halved.
  • Butter: 2 tablespoons.
  • Shallots: 2 small, finely chopped.
  • Mustard: 2 teaspoons (English mustard works best).
  • Worcestershire sauce: 2 tablespoons.
  • Cayenne pepper: A pinch (adjust to taste).
  • Tomato paste: 1 tablespoon.
  • Cream: 100ml (optional, for richness).
  • Parsley: A handful, chopped, for garnish.
  • Salt and pepper: To taste.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the kidneys

Clean the kidneys by removing any membranes and white core. Rinse under cold water, pat dry, and cut in half. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Cook the shallots

Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3: Cook the kidneys

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the kidneys to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned but still tender.

Step 4: Make the devilled sauce

Stir in the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to coat the kidneys. If using cream, add it now and simmer for 1-2 minutes to create a rich sauce.

Step 5: Garnish and serve

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately with toast or mashed potatoes for a hearty meal.
