Preparation: The veal kidneys are fried, some fat cut off, then they are cut in thick slices, sprinkled with salt and pepper, fried one minute in the ⅛ lb. of butter until light brown and put on a hot platter. The ham is sliced and fried in the same butter rapidly about 2 minutes on both sides and placed on the platter with the kidney slices. In the same butter, fry the sliced onions, flour and the sliced champignons. Pour in the veal gravy, Madeira or red wine, lemon juice and sugar, boil and taste. Put in the meat slices and heat again but do not cook; serve at once. Toasted wheat bread served with this dish or placed around the edge of the platter is very nice.
