  • Jacques Pépin shares his recipe for pork kidneys in red sauce. Although some people shy away from organ meats, these pork kidneys are an excellent choice for a tasty, no-hassle dinner. Jacques utilizes readily accessible ingredients from around his kitchen to make this simple and iron-rich meal. Kidneys cook very quickly - just a minute or so on each side - making this a great choice for an on-the-fly supper on busy nights.
    What you'll need:
    2 pork kidneys, salt and pepper, olive oil, 1 small onion, 2 cloves garlic, 3 tbsp white wine, 1/3 cup V8, parsley

    A very underated cheap meal and as you say very tasty, I very often cook them in a stir fry as they cook to a lovely pink colour and stay tender and creamy (try them with a peanut butter, garlic and sweet soy sauce with vegetables, scrummy)
    And thanks Jacques for showing us how to take out the membrane I had not seen that before, bit like filleting a fish👍

  • @michaeltres

    One thing that goes unsaid in this video is that the "scent" of the kidneys leaves no doubt about their origin. For that reason, acidic sauces are always popular, even, dare I say, required. I usually choose a mustard sauce. Jacques uses tomato here, which is also really good. I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but I do think people should know what they're getting into if they try this dish.

    In other recipes for kidneys i've read, there's always a soaking step involved, usually after removing the sinewy insides. This is ostensibly to cut down on a urine smell that they make when you cook them. Jacques doesn't mention that here. Is it not needed? or is that just folklore? or is it just what one gets for a quick evening meal of kidneys?
