<<SNIP>>
brains, but I'd not mind trying them.... Early in our marriage, I made
a form of steak and kidney pie a few times... I used lamb kidneys and
beef chunks... came out pretty well... :)
That sounds like a good dish for you to make at the upcoming picnic!
How about it?
I've not seen lamb kidneys in the store for years and years.... dunno where I'd be able to get them... Never used a recipe, either, so not
sure how I'd do trying to reproduce it, either... ;) Dunno...
maybe....
I don't see much in the way of lamb here, except in Wegman's. But then
I don't see the point of lamb either :-}}
In our early years, we used to buy kidneys and hearts -- to cut up as
cat food. I will admit with you that I do not tend to see them in most
stores around here these days. I would not be surprised if they were at H-Mart, the Korean Grocery store in the area.

Title: Pasticcio Di Maccheroni
Categories: Greek, Casserole, Main dish
Yield: 12 servings
2 tb Butter
1 md Onion; finely chopped
1 sm Green onion; minced
1 Celery stalk; finely chopped
1 Carrot; finely chopped
2 ts Salt
A little pepper
750 g Ground beef
2 md Tomatoes; chopped
2 Egg whites
1/2 kg #1 or #2 macaroni or pennaki
2 tb Unsalted butter
2 c Grated cheese
MMMMM-----------------------BECHAMEL SAUCE----------------------------
3 tb Butter
3/4 c Flour
1 kg Milk
Salt & pepper
2 Egg yolks
Saute the onion, green onion, celery and carrot in the butter until
tender. Add the salt, pepper, ground beef and a few spoons of water.
Saute a few minutes and add the tomatoes. Leave the meat with the
sauce to simmer for 1/2 an hour. Remove from the heat and add the
lightly beaten egg whites.
Boil 4 kilos water with a tablespoon salt. Put in the macaroni and
leave it to boil for 10 minutes. Add one cup cold water and then
drain the macaroni.
While macaroni is cooking, prepare the Bechamel Sauce: Put the 3
tablespoons butter and the flour into a saucepan. Stir over slow fire
until smooth. Add the milk, gradually, whisking with a wire whisk or
electric mixer. Continue cooking until sauce thickens. Remove from
the fire and add salt and pepper to taste (optionally, grated nutmeg
is also good). Lightly beat the egg yolks, then add a few spoonfuls
of the hot sauce to them, and mix well. Then add the egg yolks to
the the rest of the Bechamel sauce, mixing them in well. Set aside.
Put the unsalted butter into the macaroni and then put half the
macaroni into a rectangular baking pan. Sprinkle with plenty of
grated cheese and then cover with the meat. Put the remaining
macaroni on top and cover with cheese. Pour the Bechamel Sauce over.
Bake for about 40 minutes in a medium oven. Cut into squares when
slighly cooled and serve.
