Ready to blind bake with rice

Fried spiced kidneys and the egg mix

Twice now, I've forgotten to put greaseproof paper under the baking beans. Perhaps this picture will remind me next time!

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

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.
