How To Make brains with peppers and tomatoes
-
1Pre 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.
-
2Heat 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
-
3Serve with fresh sprigs of basil or dust with dried sweet basil.
