Method

7 soļi
  1. If the kidney is raw, pull off the fat and membrane, halve it lengthwise and cut out the white core. Soak it in cold water for 30 minutes and pat dry. Fry it in a little butter over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, turning, until cooked through with no pink left (72 °C). Leave it to cool.
  2. Chop the kidney, fat and roast veal finely with a knife, or pulse them briefly in a food processor; don't make a paste.
  3. Mix in the eggs, cream, parsley or lemon zest, salt, pepper, nutmeg, breadcrumbs and currants. It should spread easily but not run.
  4. Heat the oven to 200 °C and butter a large baking tray generously.
  5. Dip the bread slices one at a time in the milk, quickly so they don't fall apart, and lay them on the tray. Spread the mixture evenly over them, about 1 cm thick, right to the edges.
  6. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the topping is set and puffed (72 °C in the middle) and the bread is golden underneath.
  7. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar and eat warm.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

the book chops the kidney and its fat from a cold roast of veal with a little of the roast meat, mixes them with eggs, cream, parsley, salt, pepper, nutmeg, grated bread and currants, spreads this finger-thick on slices of white bread dipped in milk, bakes them in a tart pan and finishes them with sugar and cinnamon. Cooking a raw kidney, the amounts, oven temperature and times are ours.

Tart pan

the book's tartu panna was a covered pan with coals on the lid, so the toasts baked from above and below. An oven does the same. On the hob, fry them bread side down in butter for 3 minutes, then cover and cook over low heat for 6–8 minutes until the top sets.

Kidneys

a veal kidney should smell mild and fresh. Four or five lamb's kidneys work too.

Lemon

the book says some cooks use chopped lemon peel instead of parsley.
