Instructions

  1. Prepare the kidneys: if not already cleaned by the butcher, remove the membranes and inner parts. Rinse under cold water and chop into roughly 3-4 cm pieces.
  2. Peel the 3 onions and roughly chop them. Heat roughly 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a large pot or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the kidneys and onions, cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in the hot water (0.25 liters), then add the bay leaf and 3 cloves. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, until the pork reaches 63°C (145°F) internally.
  3. Mix roughly 1 tablespoon of flour with roughly 2-3 tablespoons of cold water to form a smooth slurry. Stir this into the simmering sauce and cook for 2 minutes more until thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and vinegar to your preference.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
