Pig's Kidney Recipe

Start by preparing the hay. If it's wet or damp, place into an oven set to a low temperature until completely dry. Once dry, place into a large saucepan

Light the hay on fire and stand away from the flame. After all the hay is burnt, cover with a lid to extinguish the flames and then cover with water. Allow to slowly simmer for 10 minutes

Pass the smoky hay-infused water through a fine strainer and pour into a smaller saucepan. Bring to the boil, remove from the heat and add the kidney's. Leave the kidneys in the stock until cool. This will gently poach them, creating a smooth texture

Place the potatoes into a pan filled with cold water and gently boil for 20–30 minutes. Once cooked, but still firm and hot, put them through the vegetable mill (mouli) or ricer

Once the potatoes are finely mashed, add the savora, diced butter (one by one - so they have time to melt) and the milk to finish. Keep stirring all the time. Taste and season if needed

For the sauce, add the double cream, mustard, vermouth, garlic, salt and pepper into a small saucepan. Bring to the boil for 5 minutes and set aside

Remove the kidneys from the water and dry with absorbent kitchen towel. Heat a small amount of butter in a frying pan. Gently pan-fry the kidneys until golden on both sides

To serve, slice the kidneys into small portions and plate with the savora mash. Drizzle with the sauce and serve immmediately
