The recipe

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Remove some of the kidney fat from the loin and wrap the skin in paper.

  3. Roast the loin for three hours, ensuring both ends are browned.

  4. If desired, roast the kidney separately in a dripping pan for better browning.

  5. Once browned, place the kidney on thick toast in the dripping pan.

  6. Serve the toast and kidney on a separate dish without gravy.
