This tasty flan would work as a starter or a main course and would be great cold on a picnic.

Mise en place
- Preheat the oven to 200° C (400° F - Gas 6)
Twice now, I've forgotten to put greaseproof paper under the baking beans. Perhaps this picture will remind me next time!
Method
- Roll the pastry and use it to line a greased 20 cm (8") flan tray, a pastry mat is a useful aid for this.
- Bake blind at 200° C (400° F - Gas 6) for 10 minutes
- Beat the eggs and the milk and season to taste with salt and pepper
- Melt the butter in a frying pan or wok and gently fry the onions and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes
- Add the chopped kidneys and fry for 4 minutes, stirring all the time
- Season with pepper and then deglaze the pan with a teaspoon of sherry vinegar
- Mix the chopped parsley into the kidney mixture
- Fill the flan with the kidney mixture
- Pour the beaten eggs over the kidneys
- Reduce the heat of the oven to 180° C (350° F - Gas 4)
- Bake for a further 40 minutes
Serving suggestions
Serve hot or cold
Chef's note
In the photographs, I also added parsley to the egg mixture, but when poured into the kidneys, it was way too much parsley (which would then probably have burnt) so I removed it from the egg mixture before baking.
