Calf or Bull Testicle Fries (Criadillas) Recipe
Bull testicle fries are popular in bullfighting countries like Argentina, Spain, and Mexico, where they are often eaten as a symbol of victory. In the United States, they are commonly known as Rocky Mountain Oysters.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Bulls testicles
- 5 Garlic cloves
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Thyme
- Cayenne pepper
- Olive oil
Instructions
- 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 into 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!
