Devilled Lamb Kidney Kabobs
If you have never had the pleasure of eating lamb kidneys before, you will be surprised by their mild flavour and lovely texture. They are prized and expensive in many parts of the world but remain economical in Canada. The same preparation is great with veal kidneys, which, like the lamb kidneys, should be grilled quickly, remaining pink inside.

8 lamb kidneys (about 1 lb/500 g)
3 tbsp (50 mL) olive oil
2 tbsp (25 mL) lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp (15 mL) worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp (2 mL) pepper
1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
16 mushrooms, halved
Basting Sauce:
1/4 cup (50 mL) butter, melted
2 tbsp (25 mL) chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp (15 mL) dijon mustard
Preparation:
In large bowl, soak lamb kidneys in 4 cups (1 L) cold water and 1 tsp (5 mL) salt for 30 minutes. Drain and rinse; drain well. Cut in half horizontally; cut out white centre.
In bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, pepper and salt ; add kidneys and stir to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Basting Sauce: In small bowl, combine butter, parsley and mustard; set aside. Onto each of 8 skewers, thread kidneys alternately with 2 mushroom halves.

Substitution: Use chicken livers instead of the lamb kidneys; do not cut in half or soak in water. The recipe is also suitable for calves' or baby beef liver, cut into 1-1/2-inch (4 cm) cubes.
