About

This recipe is for 4 to 6 people, or generous portions for 2 people for a couple of days.

Don’t make any faces: The kidneys in this classic recipe are an absolute must and are really good. I make it with stout (preferably Guinness) and lots of vegetables; turnips, celery … whatever you have on hand.

If you really don’t want to eat kidneys, replace them with more stew meat.
