- Well here's the way the Red Barn Restaurants (Colorado) made them:
-
- Rocky Mountain Oysters No. 1041 Yields 2 Servings
-
- 4 Lamb Testicles 1 Egg, Slightly Beaten
- 1/4 Cup Olive Oil Seasoned Flour
- 2 Tbls Lemon Juice 3 Tbls Whole Milk
- 1 tsp Tarragon 2 tsp Peanut Oil
- 1/4 Cup Butter 3/4 Cup Bread Crumbs, Sifted
- 1 Cup Curley Parsley
- Tomato Sauce
-
- Preheat a deep fryer to between 400 degrees and 425 degrees.
- Place the parsley in a deep frying basket and immerse in the deep fryer until
- the hissing stops (1 to 2 minutes).
- Drain and set aside.
- Combine the lightly beaten egg, whole milk and peanut oil, beating no more
- than needed to blend (DO NOT LET THE EGG GET BUBBLY).
- Place in a shallow bowl.
- Place the bread crumbs in another shallow bowl.
- Place the seasoned flour in still another shallow bowl.
- Remove the loose outer skin from the testicles.
- Remove the inner skin (CAREFULLY !).
- Soak the peeled testicles in enough cold water to cover for about 3 hours,
- changing the water at least three times during that period.
- Drain.
- Add cold water to cover again.
- Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat AT ONCE and simmer for about 6 minutes.
- Drain again and plunge the cooked testicles into COLD (!) water.
- Let stand until cool.
- Cut across the testicles to make 1/3" thick slices.
- Combine the olive oil, lemon juice and tarragon as a marinade.
- Marinate the testicles for at least 1 hour.
- Dry thoroughly.
- Dip each slice in the shallow bowl of seasoned flour.
- Toss the floured slices, one at a time, from hand to hand to shake any excess
- flour off.
- Slide each slice through the egg mixture, making sure the entire slice is
- fully coated.
- Allow excess egg mixture to drip off and place in the bowl of breadcrumbs.
- Make sure each slice is completely covered with breadcrumbs.
- Place the coated slices on a rack to dry for at least 15 minutes.
- Saute the slices in butter in a skillet until golden brown on all sides.
- Garnish with the deep fried parsley and serve with tomato sauce.
