Other information18th century onwards

Devilled kidneys is a Victorian British breakfast dish consisting of lamb's kidneys cooked in a spiced sauce, referred to as "devilling". It has since become more frequently used as a supper-time dish.

Description[edit]

The devilling mixture consists of Worcestershire sauce, mustard, butter, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper.[1]

James Boswell described devilling during the 18th century, although it was not until the 19th and 20th centuries that devilled kidneys grew in popularity as a breakfast dish. During the Edwardian era, the dish was typically served in gentlemen's clubs,[2] and was part of a cuisine which also included items such as kedgereeorkippers. In the modern era it has mostly been promoted as a supper dish instead of at breakfast.[3]

Variations[edit]

British celebrity chef Rick Stein created a recipe combining devilled kidneys with wild mushrooms to create an entrée.[4] The dish is often included in cookbooks, with versions gracing the covers of books by the Canteen restaurant,[5] as well as books by The Hairy Bikers.[1] Chef Fergus Henderson described Caroline Conran's version of devilled kidneys as "the best recipe, ever!",[6] and Marco Pierre White created devils kidneys for the celebrities in one of his seasons of ITV's Hell's Kitchen.[7]
