Cost: 10
Equipment
- 1 Sharp paring knife
Ingredients
- rocky mountain oysters from lamb, beef or pork with outer sheath attached
- Milk or water optional
Instructions
Trimming fresh testicles
- Put the testicles on a cutting board and cut the ends off each one.
- Carefully remove the thick outer membrane.
- Make an incision in the thin inner membrane, then carefully peel the membrane back to reveal the inner meat.
- From here, the testicles can be cooked, breaded and fried, or prepared however you like.
To par cook (if the inner sheath sticks)
- Cover the testicles with 2 inches of water and bring to a simmer. Cook for ten minutes.
- After ten minutes, remove the testicles and cool until you can handle them. Then trim and remove the sheath and inner membrane.
