Breaded Lamb Fries with Herbs
Ingredients
1 pair of lamb fries (testicles)
outer membranes removed, soaked in saltwater for 2-24 hours, sliced
1 egg
¾ cup flour or arrowroot or crushed pork rinds
¼ cup chopped herbs [ dill, mint, tarragon, thyme etc.]
¾ tsp salt
1 Tbsp lard
Lemon zest/ lemon slices, for garnish
Preparation
Soak the testicles [fries] for 2-24 hours. Slice lengthwise or crosswise into even slices.
Whisk egg. In a second bowl, combine flour, herbs, and salt.
In a pan on medium high heat melt lard. Dredge testicle slices first in egg wash and then in the flour mixture. Place in pan and fry on each side 3-4 minutes per side for thin crosswise slices or 5-6 minutes for thicker lengthwise slices.
Remove from pan and garnish with fresh squeezed lemon and zest.

NOTES:Â
Soaking the testicles in saltwater removes blood and impurities. You may replace the saltwater midway if you are soaking overnight.
Poach them for 6 minutes, cooling in an ice bath, before slicing and frying to ensure the testicles are cooked through.
