Stewed Kidneys.
3 kidneys.
3 table-spoonfuls melted butter.
Juice of half a lemon, and a pinch of grated lemon-peel.
A very little mace, and pepper and salt to taste.
1 teaspoonful chopped onion.
1 cup good brown gravy.
Cut each kidney lengthwise into three pieces; wash these well and wipe dry. Warm the butter in a frying-pan; put in the kidneys before this is really hot, with the seasoning and gravy. Simmer all together, closely covered, about ten minutes. Add the lemon-juice; take up the kidneys and lay upon a hot dish, with fried or toasted bread underneath. Thicken the gravy with browned flour, boil up once, pour over all, and serve.
