Instructions

  1. Clean the kidneys, cut into pieces of about the same size and soak for several hours, changing the water more often.
  2. Pour into a sieve, drain well and then dust with flour.
  3. In a saucepan, fry the finely chopped onions and diced bacon in a little oil. Add the diced bell pepper, finely chopped garlic and chilli pepper and tomato paste. Then add the kidneys to the pan and fry for another 5 minutes. Deglaze with red wine and reduce the liquid a little. Then a shot of water (also meat broth) and the spices and let simmer for about 20 minutes on a low flame. I cook the spices in a tea bag or tea egg so that they are easier to “fish out” afterwards.
  4. Mashed potatoes, bread dumplings or spaetzle are enough as a side dish.

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.
