2. Cut up the kidneys, and arrange these with the meat neatly in a pie-dish;
3. sprinkle over them the minced parsley and a seasoning of pepper and salt;
4. pour in the gravy, and cover with a tolerably good puff crust.

6. A well-made suet crust may be used instead of puff crust, and will be found exceedingly good.
