Here is a simple Delicious Ox-Kidney Stew Recipe. It can be enjoyed with any starch such as nshima, rice, pasta and potatoes.
According to triedandsupplied.com, “Kidneys deteriorate faster than any other type of offal. They are best bought whole from a good butcher, and eaten the same day you’ve bought them. Don’t keep them longer than a day in the fridge.
Ask your butcher to take away the fat and the outer membrane and to halve them and cut out the white sinew inside, but buy whole kidneys and ask the butcher to prepare them according to your instructions rather than buying chopped kidneys (they begin to lose their flavour).”
