Method

  1. To prepare the kidneys, remove any membranes and slice in half lengthwise. Remove the hard core with a small sharp knife and discard. Place in a bowl, cover with boiling water and leave for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and soften the onion for 5 minutes. Add the butter and garlic and, once melted, add the mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes, then drizzle over the red wine and cook for a further 5 minutes.
  3. Remove the kidneys with a slotted spoon and slice with a sharp knife. Return them to the pan along with the thyme leaves and cook gently for 10 minutes. Scatter with a few thyme leaves and serve with mash as a main, or on a slice of toast as a light meal or starter.
