Preparing for the Next Zombie Apocalypse - Southern Style!

I believe if Martha Stewart or Paula Deen is alive during the Next Zombie Apocalypse, they would want you to be prepared! Therefore, when the zombie horde shows up at your door, here's a little dish to make them feel right at home!


Majorcan Style Brains

Recipe makes 4 servings

1 pound calves' brains

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, chopped

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 1/4 cups chicken stock

2 egg yolks

2/3 cup heavy whipping cream pieces

Remove skin and any nasty-looking pieces from calves' brains. Rinse in cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with flour and season with salt and pepper to taste.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion and saute until translucent. Add seasoned brains and brown slightly all over. Add vinegar and stock, reduce heat to low and let all simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.

Remove brains from skillet. Slice them and place slices in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cook skillet juices rapidly to reduce. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Strain skillet liquid. In a small bowl beat egg yolks and mix will with the cream. Whisk mixture into skillet sauce. Pour sauce over brains and heat through in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

Not sure exactly what constitutes "nasty-looking pieces", but I'm sure you'll know it when you see it! My Dad was from the South. He used to scramble brains with eggs. I guess it's never too early to prepare yourself for the coming Zombie Apocalypse! Enjoy!
