Kidney
Goat kidney is a small, tender organ with a mineral edge that cleaning and brief cooking keep pleasant. Remove membrane and core fat; soak briefly if a milder taste is wanted. Fresh kidneys cook in minutes; long stewing is for recipes that expect softer texture. Sauté with onion and spice, or grill skewered pieces hot and fast. Serve promptly. Highly perishable—buy fresh and use the same day when possible.
