Method

5 soļi
  1. If you're using raw kidney, peel off the membrane, cut out the white core, slice it and fry in a knob of butter over high heat for 3–4 minutes, until cooked through (70 °C). Leave to cool.
  2. Chop the kidney, fat and veal very finely with a knife or in a food processor. Mix in the eggs, cream, parsley, salt, pepper, nutmeg and breadcrumbs to make a thick spread.
  3. Dip the bread slices quickly in the milk, one at a time, and lay them on a board. Spread the mixture about 1 cm thick on each and smooth it with a knife.
  4. Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the toasts spread side up, covered with a lid so the topping sets, for 3–4 minutes, until golden underneath. Turn them carefully and fry for 2–3 minutes more to brown the topping; it should be firm all through (72 °C).
  5. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar and serve hot.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

the spread of the kidneys, fat and a little meat from a cold roast of veal, chopped very fine with eggs, sweet cream, parsley, salt, pepper, nutmeg and bread; thin slices of white bread dipped in milk, spread a finger thick, fried in a raušu panna (a shallow pan with a lid), sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon and served hot, are the book's. The butter for frying, the amounts, the times and the raw-kidney option are ours.

Lemon instead of parsley

the book suggests finely chopped lemon peel instead of parsley.

Sweet and savoury

cinnamon sugar on a savoury toast was common at the time; leave it off if you prefer.

Kidney

veal kidney is mild and sold by butchers; lamb's kidneys also work. Offal should reach 70 °C.

Oven option

fry the toasts bread side down only, then bake them topping up at 200 °C for about 10 minutes.
