(Granelli di montone fritti)
Wash, remove the skin that covers the kidneys and cut in very thin slices. Wipe with a cloth, dip first in ground bread crumbs, then in a beaten egg mixed with melted butter, then again in the bread crumbs. This must be done rapidly, at the time of frying, otherwise the bread crumbs absorb the moisture of the kidney and make them too hard.
Melt a piece of butter in a saucepan on a strong fire and when it begins to brown, dip the slices of kidney. Turn often, sprinkle with a little parsley chopped fine, salt and serve with lemon.

BEEF TONGUE BOILED
(Lingua di bue lessa)
The tongue is boiled like the beef. When half cooked remove the skin, which is not nice to see and has no nutritious elements, although it is is served with a purée of peas, or spinach or potatoes or beans, etc. But it can be served simply with sprigs of parsley.
