Calf’s Brains and Brown Butter

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no cooking times; the times in the steps were added in transcription, so check for doneness rather than trusting the clock.

  1. Prepare the calf's brains by removing any membranes and rinsing them under cold water.

  2. In a skillet, melt the brown butter over medium heat.

  3. Add the prepared calf's brains to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. Serve hot, drizzled with additional brown butter if desired.
