Method

  1. Mix together the butter, rosemary, garlic and lemon zest. Spoon onto a piece of clingfilm and roll into a sausage shape. Chill in the fridge until firm.
  2. 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. Place the brioche slices under a hot grill and toast on both sides.
  3. Heat the oil and a third of the rosemary butter in a frying pan and cook the kidneys over a medium to high heat for 1-1 1/2 minutes on each side until lightly golden. Place the kidneys on the toasted brioche and top with a knob of the remaining rosemary butter along with a drizzle of the pan juices and serve.
