Veal kidneys and cauliflower

The butcher had some nice veal kidneys – bright purple in white kidney fat that he removed for me. I like kidneys but we do not eat them often because of the high cholesterol content. But they are a source for many minerals.

Cauliflower has no cholesterol and is rich in vitamins and minerals.

I thought about the combinations because there is some similarity between the kidneys and the flower parts. I did not make a separate sauce, like mustard, as that would mainly add fat. I reduced some white wine at the end and poured that over the kidneys.

Ingredients

• One veal kidney, cleaned and cut into pieces
• One cauliflower

3. Remove the kidneys with a slotted spoon into a sieve.
4. Heat the remaining liquid and add the wine, reduce it to a few spoonfuls.
