Rocky Mountain Oysters are not seafood as their names at
first deceives us, but gonads, or bulls testicles!
They are traditionally deep fried and served with a traditional
American hot sauce.
The Americans are truly a nation with balls, and they love
to celebrate this in the annual Testicle Festival every
September in Clinton, Montana which features the true food
cuisine of the deep south, and the Rocky Mountain Oyster is
the head dish. Or should that be tail dish?...
Recipe for Rocky Mountain Oysters
- With a sharp knife, cut and pull away the skin surrounding
each of the testes and remove.
- Cover in salted water for one hour and drain.
- Add to pan of salt water, with just enough water to float
the teste. Parboil, drain and rinse.
- Allow testes to cool and cut into chip sized oval slices.
Season well.
- Mix one cup of flour, ¼ cup of corn meal and finely
chopped or dried garlic in a bowl.
- Roll each of the “oysters” into this breaded mixture.
Dip each in a cup of red wine or beer and fry immediately
in hot oil. (pure hog lard is authentic, peanut oil will do).
- Add Lousiana hot sauce to brown the oysters and then remove
from the pan.
- Drain off oil on paper towels.
- Serve immediately with chips and beer. |
