Criadillas Bull Fries Recipes

CRIADILLAS RECIPE (CALF OR BULL TESTICLE FRIES)

Steps:

• Filet the criadillas using a sharp knife. Remove the skin and cut each testicle into 4, length-ways.
• Bring a salted large pot of water to the boil and place the criadillas into the pot. Cover and leave to simmer for 10 minutes.
• Whilst your criadillas are cooking, in a separate bowl combine the breadcrumbs with garlic, thyme, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper and mix well.
• Remove the criadillas from the pan and pat dry, leaving for around 5 minutes.
• Fill a frying pan with enough oil to shallow fry and pre-heat.
• Crack an egg in to a separate bowl and whisk briefly. Now dip each of your criadillas into the egg and then into the breadcrumb mix.
• Once they are all coated, pop them into the frying pan for around 3 minutes or until they float to the surface.
• Take them out of the pan and serve with salsa.
• Enjoy!
