Meat
Kidney
Kidney of Veal needs core cleaned of suet and membrane. Soak, then sauté or pie. Buy fresh. Cook veal kidney to temperature when thickness varies, rest before carving, and add fat or sauce if lean. Escalopes, osso buco, chops, and roasts show the cut’s strengths. Match heat to collagen—fast sear for tender muscle, long moist heat for hard-working joints.
