Lamb kidney has a unique, slightly gamey taste. It’s firm in texture and has a stronger, more pronounced flavor compared to other cuts of lamb, making it a distinctive choice for those who enjoy offal. The kidney is typically small, shaped like a bean, and has a deep, rich color—usually dark brown with a slight reddish tint.
Lamb kidney is often prepared by cleaning and trimming it to remove any tough or fatty parts. It can be sautéed, pan-fried, or grilled, and is often cooked with ingredients like onions, garlic, and herbs, which help balance the kidney's bold, savory flavor. Marinating the kidneys beforehand can also help tenderize the meat and mellow out its stronger taste.
