Cleaning out the freezer to defrost before hog gets here & found a pack of two kidneys still in cryovac, 3.8 lbs. Don't have a clue what to do with them. Dog food?, sneak them in with something else like chili or what?
Hi Phillip,Old Bones, Shoney boy & Moikel, Thanks for the replies.
I'll probably cook them outside when better half is out, she's not as open minded about this stuff as I am.
Mom has probably cooked and eaten kidneys in the past, but never mentioned it to me. She did say that she has eaten bobcat
several times and wasn't bad. I draw the line at predators though, not for me.
Thanks again for condolances, See ya, Phillip
P.S. Clarrissa, I did try your balsamic, butter reduction , was very good, Thanks for sharing.
LOL----Similar to my post above (post #4), except my Dad squeezed it out of them, instead of boiling it out.Alright, I’m not trying to be sarcastic or ugly/nasty about this, but my grandmother use to eat kidneys…… I remember when I was young, my grandfather saying, “Do you know how you cook kidneys?” and I would always fall for it and say “No how?” he would reply “You gotta boil the piss out of them” then he would laugh “Ha! Ha! Ha!” ………Ewwwwww, I just triggered a smell memory of them things boiling on the stove.....YUCK !!!!………Once she boiled them, she would chop them up and fry them in a black iron skillet till they looked worse……Then she would add salt, pepper, vinegar and oil to the mix before eating them………I don’t think I’ll be much help with a recipe and they probably taste pretty good, but I don’t think I will be try any, any time soon………But it does bring back fond memories of my grandmother, not the kidneys........ShoneyBoy
