A dish of fried beef brains can be added to the category of unusual dishes, since there are not so many people who prefer to cook such a dish for breakfast or lunch.
Cooking brains for dinner is not recommended, as this dish contains a lot of fat.
The popularity of this dish among housewives is not due to the fact that beef brains should be thoroughly cleaned of the vessel and film before cooking. The fragile and delicate structures of the brains themselves require special knowledge of purification.
Otherwise, more than half of the product may be lost as a result of improper cleaning.
Start cooking fried beef brains and start cooking with proper cleaning.
Few cooks know that beef brains should be chilled in a freezer before being cleaned.
Send the purchased beef brains to the freezer for cooling. No need to freeze, you just need to cool. For a set of brains of one bull (2 hemispheres, as in the photo), the estimated cooling time in the freezer is 20-30 minutes.
Next, we get the brains out of the refrigerator and after washing in cold water, carefully remove the film. If everything is done correctly, then the first time all the small blood vessels are removed along with the film. After cleaning, the brains will look like in the photo.
In a small saucepan, draw water, salt to taste and put the beef brains in the pan.
Put the pan on the fire and follow the cooking process. Remove the foam with a spoon as it appears.
After the water boils, continue cooking on low heat for about 10-15 minutes.
Get the boiled brains out of the water, put in a plate. Wait a bit so that all the water flows from the convolutions.
With a sharp knife, cut the brains into slices as in the photo.
Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil and carefully place the pieces of beef brain there.
Fry on both sides until golden brown. In time, you will have to fry for about 5 minutes on each side. You can pepper during frying.
Remove the frying pan from the heat and transfer the fried brains from the frying pan to a plate.
Grind the herbs and sprinkle on the dish. Grilled beef brains are best served hot.
