Devilled Butter

On an unsettled weather spring visit to Cirencester, I found a pub/restaurant with an interesting menu for lunch. What I could not resist was a dish of Lambs Kidneys on Sourdough Toast with Devilled Butter. It was excellent.

I’d already done some research into Devilled Kidneys but this seemed to top the pile so I went in search of a Devilled Butter recipe. Here it is, as yet untried but it will be as soon as I can get some more Lambs Kidneys.

This uses both Cayenne Pepper and Paprika so I may try using Spanish Hot Smoked Paprika as a personal variation.

    This looks great. Not convinced by the curry powder, though 🙂

    Well, tell us which pub/restaurant it was.

    Don’t know why it’s so hard to find lamb kidney in supermarkets. Tesco’s website claims they currently have them.

    I agree; curry powder always gives me pause, too.

    The pub was the Golden Cross on Black Jack Street, I believe.
