    1. Cut the prepared kidneys into small cubes. Peel the potatoes and cut them a little larger than you would for soup. Cut the cucumbers lengthwise into 4 and then crosswise into fairly thin slices. Peel the onion and garlic and cut them into small cubes. Peel the carrots and grate them on a coarse grater. 2. Put the kidneys and potatoes in a pot, cover with water, and cook until the potatoes are fully done. Then add the vegetables and cook until the potatoes begin to fall apart. At the end, add the herbs, cucumbers, and spices. Simmer briefly and let it rest. Enjoy! P.S. If you have very fresh kidneys (within 4 hours of slaughter), you don't need to pre-treat them — just rinse and cook. To prepare store-bought (or market) kidneys, soak them well for up to a day, changing the water periodically; you can add a little vinegar. Then the kidneys need to be boiled — either 15 minutes after the water boils, or, as I do, bring them to a boil three times, each time draining the water and washing the kidneys and pot well, and the fourth time cook them for half an hour after the water boils. After that, you can cook the kidneys by any recipe — frying, stewing, baking, or using them in salads.
