Most gardeners work hard to rid their gardens of the stinging nettle, but in the spring the leaves can be harvested to use in a cleansing tea, are tasty with mashed potato, good in soups, lasagna and stews or as here as a delicious sauce.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 Barnsley Chops
  • A little chopped thyme
  • 4 lamb kidneys
  • 1 cup/200ml whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp strong English mustard
  • 4 tbsp white breadcrumbs
  • Dash of brandy
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp chopped parsley
  • 2 oz/50g butter
  • 4 tbsp nettles – picked / blanched / and roughly chopped
  • 4 tbsp mint – roughly chopped
  • 4 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 4 tbsp olive oil

Preparation:

Serves 4
  • Season the Barnsley chops with salt, pepper and a little chopped thyme and place on a greased tray under a hot grill for about 10 minutes. Turn after 5 minutes and rest in a warm place.
  • For the devilled kidneys slice the kidneys in half and cut out the fatty sinew. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry the kidneys for about 2 minutes until golden brown and just cooked.
  • Take the kidneys out of the pan and on to an oven proof dish. Deglaze the pan with a little brandy, add cream and mustard and reduce to sauce consistency and pour over the kidneys.
  • Mix the crumbs, butter, parsley and cayenne together in a bowl and then sprinkle over the kidneys and grill until crumbs are golden brown.
  • To make the sauce place the nettles, mint, white wine vinegar and olive oil in to a liquidiser and puree check the seasoning.
  • To serve place the chop on your plate with two half kidneys and spoon nettle sauce around. Serve with pickled red cabbage and new potatoes.
