The testicles of Spanish fighting bulls are prized because they are thought to confer bravery and masculinity. Small portions are served as tapas. As this is not a commonly available product, you may need to ask your butcher to order them for you. Ingredients:

2 teaspoons white wine vinegar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 slice onion |
1 bay leaf |
1 egg, beaten with |
1 teaspoon water |
1/4 cup breadcrumbs |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne |
1/8 teaspoon thyme |
olive oil, for frying (you'll need about 1/4-inch in the bottom of the fry pan) |
lemon wedge, for garnish |
Directions:
1. Remove the membrane from the outside of the testicles. 2. Bring a pan of water to the boil with the next four ingredients. 3. Simmer meat for ten minutes; remove from liquid and pat dry. 4. Slice into 1/4 inch slices. 5. Combine the breadcrumbs and seasonings. 6. Preheat oil to 350F in a frying pan. 7. Dip slices in beaten egg followed by a dip into seasoned breadcrumbs. 8. Fry until golden brown and serve immediately. |
