Ingredients

  • 1 beef or 2 veal or pork kidneys,
  • 1 cup rice,

  • salt,

  • grated parmesan to taste,
  • chopped parsley

Directions

1

Remove the outer membranes from the kidneys, split in half lengthwise, remove the interior fatty tissues and slice thinly.

3

Finely chop the onion, fry in 2 tablespoons of lard until softened, add tomato sauce, paprika, one cup meat broth or water, salt, pepper, sugar and the kidneys.

4

5

Place the rice in a greased Bundt pan (hole in the middle), cover and set into the oven to bake.

6

When the rice is done, turn onto a plate, spread some grated parmesan on top and place the kidneys and sauce in the middle hole.
