2 pounds bull testicles (or lamb/sheep, calf, or turkey testicles)
1 cup flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 cup red wine
salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste
Louisiana Hot Sauce
hog lard (or cooking oil)
Using a sharp knife, split the tough skin-like muscle that surrounds each "oyster". You may be able remove the skin easily if the testicles are frozen and this step preformed while thawing. You may want to watch one of the demonstration videos on youtube for tips.
Place them in pan of salt water - just enough to cover them. Let this set for an hour or so to remove some of the blood.
Next drain and transfer them to large pot. Add enough water to let them float and toss in a generous tablespoon of vinegar. Parboil, drain and rinse. Let them cool and then slice each one into 1/4 inch thick ovals. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
In a bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal and some garlic powder. Dip them in milk, then coat each slice with this mixture. Dip into wine quickly (so as not to lose what's on there). If you want a thicker crust, repeat these steps.
Immediatly place into hot cooking oil. Add the Louisiana Hot Sauce directly into cooking oil.
Cook until they are golden brown or tender. Don't overcook...the longer they cook, the tougher they get.
