Sweat onions in a lot of butter until they begin to turn color and caramelize, adding fresh thyme.

Clean the lamb kidneys by removing the membrane and cutting them in half, then chop them roughly.

Add the kidneys to the skillet and season with salt and a good grind of black pepper.

Cook the kidneys until they take on nice color, then return the onions to the skillet and mix everything together.

Add a splash of sherry vinegar to the skillet and cook off the vinegar smoke.

Stir in a good slug of sherry and a little blob of tomato puree.

Add one spoonful of smoked paprika to the mixture.

Finish the kidneys with a good slug of double cream and turn off the heat.

Heat sunflower oil in a separate pan and prepare the bread for frying, cutting off the crusts if desired.

Fry the bread until nice and brown, then drain on paper towels.

Place the fried bread in a low-temperature oven to keep warm while finishing the kidneys.

Serve the kidneys on the fried bread, garnished with parsley.
