Kidney

Kidney of Venison needs core cleaned of suet and membrane. Soak, then sauté or pie. Buy fresh. Cook venison kidney to temperature when thickness varies, rest before carving, and add fat or sauce if lean. Roasting, grilling, stewing, and mince show the cut’s strengths. Match heat to collagen—fast sear for tender muscle, long moist heat for hard-working joints.
