Fritto Misto alla Piemontese


Ingredients:

Sweetbread, calf s brains, ox palate, flour, eggs, Chablis, salt, herbs butter.


Preparation:

  • Make a thin paste with a tablespoonful of flour, the yolks of two eggs, two Spoonsful of Chablis, and a little salt. Mix this up well, and if it is too thick add a little water.
  • Beat up the whites of the two eggs into a snow. 
  • In the meantime blanch a sweetbread, half a calf's brain, and a few bits of cooked ox palate; boil them all up with a bunch of herbs; cut them into pieces about the size of a walnut, and dip them into the paste so that each piece is well covered, then dip them into the beaten-up whites of egg, and fry them very quickly in butter.
NOTE: This dish is generally served with a garnish of French beans, which should not be cut up, but half boiled, then dried, floured over and fried together with the other ingredients. 

TIP: The ox palates should be boiled for at least six hours before you use them in this dish.
