- lamb kidneys - 300 g;
- champignons - 3 pcs.;
- shallots - 1 pc.;

Instructions
Step 1
Carefully, in a circular motion, separate the pulp from the bone, being careful not to damage the meat around.
Step 2
Clean well washed and soaked buds from films and white streaks inside, cut into small cubes.
Step 3
Peel the mushrooms and also cut into cubes.
Step 4
Heat the skillet very hot, pour in the olive oil and lay out the kidneys. Stir well and fry them for 1-2 minutes. They should only brown a little. Drain them in a colander and let the oil drain. Minced meat should not be fatty.
Step 5
Chop the herbs and shallots finely. In the same pan where the kidneys were fried, fry the mushrooms for about 2 minutes, add the garlic and mix well. Put the shallots there and wait for it to smell intensely.
Step 6
Add greens and mix everything with buds. Season with salt and pepper. Toss with grated Parmesan.
Step 7
Salt a spatula or a leg inside and gradually, using a spoon, stuff the minced meat tightly, but not completely, then sew, tie the ends well and cut off.
Step 8
In a very well preheated frying pan, fry it on all sides until golden brown and send it to the oven preheated to 220 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Take out, cut the threads and let the scapula (leg) cool.
Step 9
Wrap it in a puff pastry sheet and cut off the excess. To wrap and secure the envelope, brush it with yolk and "glue" it.
Step 10
Shape well with your hands so that the air comes out from the inside, then put on a sheet of baking paper and brush with yolk. If it's too thick, mix it with 1 teaspoon of cold water.
Step 11
Decorate the top layer of dough with a net of dough cut into ordinary thin strips. Grease with yolk again and place in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Reduce the heat and baking time if you do not want the food to be overcooked.
