Beef kidneys with beans - warm salad, which is easy to prepare from cooked offal. Cooking beef kidney process is not very troublesome, and, unlike cooking pork, is not accompanied by such a strong smell. By the way, nutritionists recommend at least once every two weeks to include in the menu dishes from offal - kidneys, liver and other tripe.
To begin with, soak offal in clean, cold water for 10-12 hours. Usually, the buds are bought frozen, right from the market and sent to a large pot filled with cold water. Water change several times. Then we will fill with clean water, bring to a boil, salt it, wash the kidneys with running cold water, this procedure will be repeated twice. Then pour the boiled water offal, add roots, spices and salt, boil for an hour.

Method of cooking beef kidneys with beans
Kidney - a strange product, from a kilogram of raw after heat treatment, 350-400 g of boiled remains. Where the rest of the weight goes is a mystery, but the fact remains that they apparently absorb a lot of water.
So, we take ready kidneys, if there is fat and ducts left - we cut it out.
Then cut the kidneys into slices about half a centimeter thick or a little thinner.
Chop onions finely. Onions in this recipe do not happen much; there are products that are simply made for each other, onions and buds are among them.
Pour a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil into a frying pan with a non-stick coating, add butter, as soon as it melts, throw the onion, sprinkle with salt. Fry over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, then add the chopped buds there. Stir, cook on low heat for 10-12 minutes. We spread the fried ingredients in a deep salad bowl.
White canned beans are thrown back on the sieve, washed with cold boiled water, after the water is drained, add the beans to the salad bowl.
Finely chop a bunch of fresh dill. Put greens in a salad bowl, pepper it with freshly ground black pepper, mix well.
On the table, beef kidneys with beans are served warm or cold; it can be delicious anyway. Kidneys belong to the category of products that remain tasty and hot and cold. Enjoy your meal!
I'll tell you how to choose the right kidneys: Choose evenly colored reddish-brown. If there are so-called “bruises”, then you should not take it, this is a sure sign of old age or improper storage, although after a long soaking, it happens that this darkening disappears.
