LOL!! I am a very HEALTHY man, 82 years of age, and many years ago, when they were just kids, I used to prepared kidneys for my 3 young girls, and they ate it up with great relish!! However, these days, I suggested making kidneys to my grandaughter, the other day, and she RECOILED in absolute terror!! LOL!! She said , "Grandpa, people don't eat 'STUFF LIKE THAT' ANYMORE!!"" LOL!! Well, I STILL DO, as organ meats are very healthy for you!!...I eat beef liver as well, but my preference is for kidneys. Pork kidneys are best, but I enjoy beef kidneys almost as well. You are a GREAT COOK, Chris!! You are very precise in your careful preparation of the kidneys. I am not as careful, and still enjoy the dish. I so enjoyed your additional recipe for your gravy as well! I am going to prepare it when I make my next kidney dish! God Bless you, Chris, and please. keep these videos coming, as they are a real TREASURE TO ME, as you somehow just KNOW what I REALLY do like!!
Hello Ms. Chris I must say this brought tears to my eyes because my mom was the only one that could fix kidneys or liver for me. I'm 67 years old and mom passed away about 22 years now. I cooked them every now and then when I can find them, but I enjoyed watching you cook the kidneys just like my mom used to do. My kids are grown now but they never wanted to eat them.....lol 😆 and yes I still eat and cook old school. Blessings 💖 🙏
Hey Ms. Chris. Oh my goodness so good to see you. Nobody cooks like you do on UA-cam. Missed watching and learning all the good recipes you cooked. Thank you for this recipe today. Take care.
My mom, rest her soul, made kidneys and gravy that were so scrumptious when I was a child, that I’m here, 60 yrs later, trying to find out how to do it. For her, it was a 2 day process.
I haven't had kidneys in many many years. My mother used to cook them because they were a cheap mill and, also because my father used to loved them and we were so glad he did. My mother passed away over 50 years ago and it's hard to find some good ole time cooking. A lot of your recipes takes me back to my mother's cooking. God has blessed me to turn 74 golden years of age and I am very thankful I grew up in a time of ole time cooking and ole time living. Thank you for this video and God Bless.
it's been 55 years since I HAD THEM. But we put them in some milk for half an hour to get the urine test out before we washed and fixed them like you did. thanks for the memories
Thanks so much for sharing this, Ms. Chris. I just found your page. I'm sitting here watching this, and you're taking me back to when my grandmother used to prepare these beef kidneys in the 60's and 70's. I remember her seasoning and flouring them just like she did her chicken (like you said). My husband saw me watching this video and did a double take - he said that his mother used to prepare these when he was growing up, too. I remember trying to find some years ago. I couldn't find them at the grocery stores around me. Now, it's my mission to find some and have an old-school beef kidney dinner like we both enjoyed when we were kids.
OK how do I even start. I'm a 67 year old white guy. Well I say white but my great great grandfather was black. And we have had Mexican roots through our family and black roots throughout our family my wife's great great grandfather was a slave so you know what It's some point in time I don't know what it really is but maybe these old black roots come out in some way even though I look like a d*** snowflake. I just want to say this look so good I have eaten kidneys from wild animals before we deer hunt we hug hunt we eat raccoon we get possum we eat beaver all kinds of things we can trap and hunt I just wish I could find some modern day black people People that would really embrace the old time and the old school cooking how it was 75A 100 a 150 years ago. I wish white people would embrace this wonderful wonderful culture of food. We eat all kinds of things I love chicken feet I eat chipmunks I cook all those great things for me and my family and I wish I could find people here in Texarkana Either black white mixed Asian Spanish who cares they would love to come to my home and just prepare some crazy ethnic meals and really sit down and enjoy things that you can't get at the grocery store
Heyyyy NOW that's what I'm talking about. That was a childhood favorite next to Pinto beans and rice. You're right this is an old skool dish. We used a large brown paper bag to flour chicken when I was growing up. Plastic bags weren't out then. Love the channel and thank you for creating it.
I must say that I haven't had kidneys in years. My grandmother used to cook them for the dog, but the dog had to fight me for the pan. Your method of cleaning and prep is great! When I fixed them for myself, that's what I hated most. I used to wind up with really small pieces. I'm looking forward to trying your way. Keep cooking!
Hello Ms. Chris. I've never had smothered kidneys before but this sure brought back good memories of my mom and granny fixing good ole smothered chicken livers, steamed rice and corn :). May they both rest in paradise. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe and God bless you :)
Hello Chris, good to see you, love the old school recipes. Can't remember having kidneys but I love gizzards and liver especially calfs liver over some rice with what... onion grave!!
Kidneys are still popular over in England and Ireland. They do a Kidney Pie like a Shepherd's pie. So glad to see you back on youtube. I'm missing seeing your face during the videos.
I love you. Thank you for saving me! I bought beef kidney’s recently for the first time and didn’t know what to do with it! ❤I feel like you my auntie sharing a family recipe
I am 36 and norvegian. I've been making stuff like this since my teens. I've made pigs kidneys abfew times. But for some reason I jqve not rryed cows kidney. I think itbis hard to find. I love both cow and pigs liver. Sheep, not so much. I used to boil broth from marrow bones when I moves for myself at 15. Bones are so expensive these days... I really wanna try this recipe. Tnx for the inspiration!
My Grandfather made the best kidney stew. I’ve been searching for a recipe that resembles his from what I remember. This looks pretty similar! I can’t wait to try it. My mouth is watering just watching you cook it. Thank you!
I'm 69 - mom made this very much the same, over rice. Hint: rSlowly mix liquid into powder (eg flour) to mix easier than trying to put the powder stirred into liquid. Hot/warm liquid dissolves stuff best usually.
I get my kidney at Food 4 Less. My parents are from Lake Providence and the West Memphis area. I'm here to see how you do it. We do it the same with a different wrist. Kidney makes the best gravy😋
My great-grandmother was Jamaican and she used to prepare this for my grand uncle from time to time. She showed me how to make this when I was a kid and that was the first time I actually heard of this dish and tried it as well. She would cut the kidney(s) up into smaller pieces and smothered it in a brown gravy...it was SOOOO GOOD. Right now I'm working on increasing my confidence in the kitchen and this is a dish I'm going to try...THANKS MS. CHRIS!!!
HI Ms. Chris this meal takes me a long way back to childhood days. My mom used to prepare her dish much like yours. I really love beef kidney cooked. Thanks to preparing this dish so much!!
We used to live by a dairy farm and sometimes the cows would die and we would get some choice parts including kidneys and tongue. My mom would put them in a steak and kidney pie, Yum! And I made beef tongue when my kids were young. I can no longer find either in my grocery store. I asked and they said they could special order them for me at $24.00 per pound. Out of my league now!
Many years ago, my Aunt made steak & kidney pie.My grandfather had butchered a cow & gave her the kidneys, I remember her cleaning those kidneys a long time. As a child, I didn’t try it but the adults ate it & enjoyed it ! Do you n me she steak & kidney pie?
Hi Ms. Chris my mother use to cook this she was the only one I knew that did, I was a little girl but I still remember the taste but didn't quite know how to put it together thank u thanku! Love Ole school cooking
Kidneys and rice have been in our family for years and years and years my children love them my grandchildren love them we just cook the beef kidneys with onions . fry them until tender like lots of butter in them and then we add rice once they're done. we put cooked rice right with the kidneys and onions and mix it all up in that buttery kidney juice
OMG!!!!! Ironically I saw fresh Beef Kidneys in the store this morning. My Grandmother made these for us when we were kids. I'm 62. I had no idea how she made. So I found you today on youtube and I'm gonna use your recipe. Making this weekend. Thanks a mil. Kaszy
I started the carnivore diet 6 months ago so I’m now eating all sorts of stuff I never touched. Bought kidneys the other day. Thanks for the preparation info.
Ok I just cleaned it. Tons more work for an inexperienced cook. I envy those who have moms, grandmothers and great-grandmothers to do this for them. I will cook it tomorrow. Wish me luck.
So I soaked it overnight in water and the only vinegar I had, balsamic. Since I am mainly carnivore, I drained it, put it with some olive oil in a crockpot and let it cook for hours. It made a lot of juice. It was good. Will make it again. Made broth for my dogs with the parts I cut out. Threw out the solids.
Hi miss Chris I've never had kidneys my mom never made them for us growing up but I love me some liver and gizzard and I'm definitely going to try this I'm so glad you showed us how to clean them !ND season them they look so delicious I love these old school recipes there awesome thanks miss Chris happy cooking 😃😃😃😃👋👋👋👋👋👋🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤
Yess!!! Making some in a few,,just finished cleaning and cutting them up. My Grandma, and my Mommy used to cook these . They did it a little different because back in the day, I don't remember Grandma using onion powder, or garlic powder,,just Salt and Pepper.. I don't remember her browning them, just putting in the pot with the onions, s&p, and then pot them down until they are tender. Then they would add some flour with a little water, to make the gravy. When the pot was done, the gravy was a Gray kinda color, and sooo delish.
Hello Chris. I watched your video on how to cook beef kidneys. I am 72 yo. I remember my grandmother preparing kidney stew when I was a girl. We lived in Maryland in the country on a working farm. Nothing got thrown away! I remember not caring for the smell so I wouldn't eat them lol. I normally wasn't allowed to get away with that, but for some reason Nanny didn't make me eat them lol. I enjoy your videos. They really take me back.😊
Hello Ms. Chris. I love your videos & it's nice to see you. I have low iron & I was recommended to eat liver. Can you please cook some liver, I'm intimidated because I've never cooked it. I'm wondering if the kidneys would work for iron as well. Thank you for sharing 💜
My sister used to fry the best chicken livers ever. They were delicious. I do like beef livers also. I remember hearing my family talk about kidneys. But I'm sure I've never eaten them. And I don't think I want to. Now you have me hungry for chicken livers. lol. Cool video thumbs up. Stay well & safe always.
1st off where are you from? 2nd of I know that I made the right decision by subscribing to your channel I used to eat these kittens with red beans and rice and Louisiana in the project. I am from Lake Charles Louisiana.
Welcome back. Good to see you. My mother cooked beef kidneys when I was a child. This brings back fond memories. It’s things like this, that keeps her alive. 👍❤️
Chris I had to a double take on the title of this video. I haven't heard anyone cooking beef kidneys since I was young. I am 69 y/o now and didn't like them, but my cousin did and she just fry and eat them. This recipe bring back so many memories.
I often reminisce on when my mother and grandmother used to make these! 🤤🤤🤤🤤 but I haven’t ever cooked them.. used to love em! My mother is still here and going strong, I’m going to ask her about them!
Oh my Goodness Ms Chris I'm 67 years young & my Dad made this dish but he stewd the kidneys with photos & onion as a Stew thank u for bringing back a memory in going to find me some kidneys & make for me & My sister God Bless I love your channel ❤️
