Cut the veal kidneys into pieces.

Soak the kidneys in water with salt and vinegar for about 30 minutes to remove impurities, changing the water once during soaking.

Rinse the kidneys well after soaking and remove any excess fat before cutting them into smaller pieces.

Chop onion and garlic for the sofrito.

Heat olive oil in a skillet and add the chopped onion and garlic; sauté until the onion is translucent.

Add a pinch of salt to the onion and garlic mixture.

Drain and rinse the kidneys again, then add them directly to the skillet.

Allow the kidneys to cook until they release their water and it evaporates, stirring occasionally.

Add a teaspoon of flour to the kidneys and mix well to combine.

Pour in about 125 ml of sherry (or white wine) and let it cook to evaporate the alcohol.

Season with black pepper, dried parsley, and a small red pepper for heat.

Add about 1.5 cups of water to the mixture and let it simmer for 15 minutes to thicken the sauce.
