  • You can use different kidneys for this Estonian recipe: beef, lamb, or pork. If you use pork or lamb kidneys, be sure to trim off the fat. Also remember to peel the membrane off larger kidneys — it comes away easily — and rinse them well under running water. Since this delicate organ gives off a distinctive odor, you need to get rid of it before cooking by soaking the kidneys in cold water for about four hours. Once the smell is gone, put the kidneys in a pot, cover with cold water, and simmer over low heat for about an hour. Take them off the heat, remove them, and rinse again under cold running water. Cut the kidneys into nice slices so the dish looks impressive. Now slice the onion into half-moons and sauté it in fat or vegetable oil, adding the sliced kidneys. Sprinkle in the flour, pour in some broth, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Return everything to the broth and cook for another ten minutes or so. At the end, stir in the finely diced pickle and the sour cream.
