1. BOILED BRAIN.
BAYIN HASHLAMA.
Ingredients:
Brains ........................ 2 to 3, of lamb or calf.
Vinegar .............................. 2 tablespoonfuls.
Method:
Bring the plain water to a boil and leave the brains in it for five minutes.
Then put in cold water for one hour, meanwhile taking off the films covering the
brains. This done put them in a vessel again, adding new plain water to it, with
the vinegar, which helps to keep parts of brains together--boil for 20 to 25
minutes, or until done.
Some cooks prefer to boil brains in muslin wraps, to insure their safety from
dissolution.
Boiled brain is served either on lettuce leaves with olive oil and lemon, or, it
is sliced and fried in butter after being dipped in beaten eggs.
