Brains from any animal can be used, it's a matter of what the butcher has, and you'll gain stature in his sight when you ask for this excellent organ. Photo © Christine Benlafquih

How To Make brains with peppers and tomatoes

1
Pre cook brains; Cook slowly for about 15 minutes, in water to cover; adding one tablespoon of cider vinegar. "The secret is in the word slowly" for brains are spoiled by high heat. Always reserve the stock for use in soups or gravies.

2
Heat oil in skillet and lightly brown chopped onions; add peppers and cook until tender. Add stewed tomatoes and herbs; cover and simmer for about 20 minutes; add brains and cook very gently about 5 minutes longer
3
Serve with fresh sprigs of basil or dust with dried sweet basil.
