  • Let me tell you how I make beans with kidneys. I picked up this recipe from Mongolian cooking — they love offal dishes there. There's a little finesse involved, though, since kidneys have a strong, rather off-putting odor and need to be soaked well. You can use plain water with a splash of vinegar or some citric acid, but then they turn out a bit tough when cooked. The best option is warm milk: it draws out all the odors beautifully. Soak them for four to five hours. You'll also want to soak the beans ahead of time, or they'll take forever to cook. Once everything is prepped, you can start. Cut the kidneys into small pieces and put them in a pot along with the beans and the water you soaked them in — about a cup, but use your judgment so it covers all the ingredients — plus the chopped onion. Season with salt and pepper and set it over the heat. Once everything is cooked, stir in the sour cream, garlic, and fresh herbs. I use parsley, a little mint, and basil.
