Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Grill and open flame. Keep sleeves, hair and tea towels away from the flame, and stay with the grill while it's lit. Barbecue outdoors only, never in a closed space.

Method

  1. To each half dozen eggs allow three lambs' kidneys.
  2. Broil the kidneys.
  3. Shir the eggs as directed in the first recipe.
  4. When done, put half a kidney on each side of the plate and pour over sauce Perigueux.
