12 lambs’ kidneys, cleaned and prepared
1 oz. butter

Cut the kidneys in half lengthways and set aside.
In a medium-sized frying-pan, melt the butter over moderate heat. When the foam subsides, add the shallots and fry, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until they are soft and translucent but not brown.
Add the kidneys and fry for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the salt, pepper, brandy and curry powder mix-ture.
