Method
- Prepare the veal brain. Rinse the veal brain thoroughly under cold water, gently remove the outer membrane, and pat dry carefully with paper towels.
- Prepare the coating. Combine the all-purpose flour and almond meal in a shallow bowl until evenly mixed.
- Season and bread. Season the brain lightly with sea salt and white pepper. Dip in the whisked egg, then coat evenly in the flour-almond mixture, pressing gently so the coating adheres.
- Fry until crisp. Heat the frying oil to about 350°F (175°C). Fry the coated brain for 3 to 4 minutes, turning gently, until the exterior is golden and crisp.
- Drain and rest. Drain on absorbent paper and rest briefly before slicing or portioning.
- Plate and serve. Arrange baby arugula on the plate, add the fried veal brain, garnish with thin lemon slices, and serve with crushed steamed potatoes if desired.
Chef's Note: Keep the fry controlled so the coating becomes crisp while the interior remains soft and creamy. Lemon and arugula provide the acidity and bitterness needed to balance this rich offal preparation.
