This is 100% British lamb kidney, diced and Certified Halal, suited to quick pan-frying, skewers or stews. Every animal is slaughtered by the non-stunned method, Antibiotic-free and Growth hormone-free. It's diced to 10-15g, 25-30g or 50-60g, fat-on or fat-off.
Kidney or Liver: What's the Difference?
No, although both are lamb offal, kidney is firmer and carries a stronger flavour than liver. This British lamb kidney comes pre-diced only, in 10-15g, 25-30g or 50-60g, fat-on or fat-off.
How It's Cut and Packed
Kidney is diced 10-15g, 25-30g or 50-60g for pan dishes, curries and stews, or skewers and mixed grills, fat-on or fat-off.
Packs run 500g to 4kg: 500g, 1kg, 2kg or 4kg.
Cooking Lamb Kidney
Halve the larger 50-60g dice before cooking. Pan-fry fat-off kidney in a hot pan for 3-4 minutes, or skewer it and roast over coals for a smoky mixed grill.
Butcher's tip: Take kidneys off the heat the moment they firm up.
Storing and Defrosting
Keep kidney chilled and use it promptly, or freeze for later. Defrost in the fridge 12 hours before cooking.
Choose the 500g pack for a small dish, or move up through the 1kg and 2kg packs to the 4kg size for family curries, mixed grills or batch cooking.
Keep lamb kidney chilled and use it promptly, or freeze the pack for later. Defrost in the fridge for around 12 hours before cooking, and use it up once thawed.

Basis: lamb kidneys. Reference: USDA FoodData Central, "Lamb, variety meats and by-products, kidneys, raw" (FDC 174354).
Pan-Fried Kidney with Onions: Sear fat-off 25-30g dice in a hot pan for 3-4 minutes, then stir through sliced onions and a splash of stock.
Kidney Skewers: Thread fat-on 50-60g dice onto skewers and grill over coals for a smoky mixed grill.
Quick Kidney Curry: Simmer 10-15g dice briefly in a spiced tomato sauce for a fast midweek curry.
Lamb kidney works well in a smoky mixed grill, in kidney curry (gurda), or threaded onto skewers alongside other offal cuts. Dice it small for quick pan dishes, or larger for the grill.
Does lamb kidney need slow, gentle cooking?
No, lamb kidney cooks fast. Pan-fry 25-30g or 50-60g dice for around 3-4 minutes over high heat rather than simmering it for hours.
What happens if lamb kidney is overcooked?
It turns tough and rubbery, so take it off the heat as soon as the dice firms up.
Can lamb kidney go into a slow-cooked stew?
Add the smaller 10-15g dice late in the cooking rather than from the start, so it stays tender rather than chewy.
How can I tell lamb kidney is cooked right?
It should feel firm but still give slightly when pressed, with no raw centre in the fat-off dice.
