Split open twelve kidneys, skin them well, and place on a dish with a tablespoonful of sweet oil. Season with a tablespoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of pepper, and half a teaspoonful of nutmeg. Take six silver skewers (if none on hand, use wooden ones), run each skewer through the centre of two kidneys (which should never become detached), roll them in fresh bread-crumbs, and put them to broil on a moderate fire for four minutes on each side. Place them on a very hot dish on which has been previously poured a pint of hot Colbert sauce (No. 190), and send to the table very hot.
