Pork Kidneys in Mushroom Sauce
Pork Kidneys in Mushroom Sauce
This is an easy and delicious meal, that goes together quickly but the preparation of the kidneys does take some time, well worth it in my opinion. I made this on 25 Aug 2018 and was very well liked not only by me, but by my wife, sister in law and her husband.
Ingredients
- 4 pork kidneys
- 2 shallots, finely diced
- 250 grams fresh mushrooms, Shiitake or Oyster is perfect, (8 oz)
- ¾ cup whipping cream
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- salt and pepper, as desired
Instructions
- Rinse and prep the kidneys, there is a Shortcut listed in Recipe Notes to describe how to do this. After the one hour soaking, as described in the Shortcut, drain and rinse the kidney pieces. This photo is 4 pork kidneys prepped and ready for use.
- Rinse the mushrooms. If using Shiitake, remove stem and slice. If using Oyster, tear into pieces.
- Heat a large non stick pan on medium heat, when hot, add the shallots and kidney pieces. Cook and stir, the kidneys will give off a lot of liquid. and I mean a lot! Season with salt and pepper as desired. Cook and reduce the liquid by half. Remove the kidneys and onions to a bowl and set aside.
- Same pan, add the mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are wilted and tender, and some of the liquid is reduced.
- Add the kidneys and shallots back to the pan, stir in the cream, paprika, and season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Simmer for 3-5 minutes and the gravy will thicken, and the kidneys heated through.
- Serve over rice or pasta. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
Low cost.

Lee made this yesterday for the family. The kidney was perfect and the mushroom gravy was very nice.
I made this on 25 Aug 2018, exactly as written. This goes together quickly, however, preparing the kidneys does take some time so you need patience with that. This was my first time cooking with kidneys, and first time ever preparing them, my wife confirms that I did both, perfectly. This was very liked by 4 people for dinner. On my go to list now.
