Even those housewives who know how and how much to cook beef kidneys do not always get the desired result. This is because many of them ignore component preprocessing rules. This procedure takes a total of several hours. As for the timing of boiling beef kidneys, they range from 50 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes. Only after all the processing steps have been completed, you can start cooking the main dish based on the boiled offal.


How to prepare beef kidneys for boiling?

The process of pre-treatment of beef kidneys is not difficult, but takes a lot of time. It allows you to bring the product to the optimum state, even if it is not of the highest quality (for example, obtained from not the youngest cow). There are several stages of preparation:

  1. First, you need to cut off all unnecessary from the kidneys. These are films, channels, fat and veins, which only become harder during the heat treatment and do not chew, which spoils the product. Even if these elements will account for a significant part of the live weight, you should not try to save money, everything must be removed to the maximum.
  2. We wash clean kidneys in cold water changing fluid several times.
  3. Be sure to soak the offal in water, and even better - in milk, for 2-3 hours. If possible, change the selected liquid at least a couple of times.

Now it remains only to remove the product, rinse it under running water and cut into small pieces. Despite the fact that the kidneys can be boiled as a whole, it is better to grind the component. This will allow you to spend a minimum of time on bringing it to readiness and remove internal vessels and films.

The process of cooking beef kidneys in a saucepan

Put the prepared by-product into a cooking container and fill it with water, which should exceed its level by 2-3 cm. Put the dishes on medium heat and bring the mass to a boil. After that, reduce the heat to a minimum and let the composition boil for 5-6 minutes. Then drain the water and rinse the workpiece under running water.

If a greasy coating appears on the walls of the pan, it must be washed off. Again, put the product in cold water and repeat the whole manipulation. In total, this process must be repeated so many times that the total duration of boiling the kidneys is from 50 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes, depending on the quality of the component and the size of the pieces.

Tip: When dealing with very fresh offal from a young animal, you don't have to worry too much. In this case, it is enough to boil the component twice for half an hour, only once changing the water and washing the pan.

Taking into account the specifics of the preparation of the product, a slow cooker, a double boiler and a pressure cooker are used extremely rarely for its processing. In extreme cases, you can use the microwave. True, you will have to independently establish the duration, frequency and power of the impact.

Recipes for delicious dishes based on boiled offal

From boiled beef kidneys, you can cook a wide variety of dishes. If you don’t want to limit yourself to mixing them with stewed vegetables, you should try the following recipes:

In addition to 150 g of boiled kidneys, we need 300 g of boiled chicken fillet, a couple of tablespoons of chopped dill, 3 tablespoons of small pickled champignons, 5 cherry tomatoes, a small head onion, salt, pepper and a tablespoon of vegetable oil. All components you just need to grind to the desired size, mix, season with spices and vegetable oil.
