Preparation Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 10 minutes Serves: 2-4

Ingredients:

• 8-10 pasture-raised lamb testicles
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
• Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions:

1. Begin by preparing the lamb testicles. Use a sharp knife to carefully peel away the thin outer membrane. Gently rinse the testicles under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

2. Using a sharp knife, slice the testicles into thin rounds, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Season the slices with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

3. Place the sliced testicles in a bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Let them soak for about 10 minutes. This helps tenderize the meat and remove any strong flavors.

4. In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well to create the coating for the testicles.

5. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan to about 350°F (175°C).

6. Remove a few slices of testicles from the buttermilk, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Dredge the slices in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.

7. Carefully place the coated testicle slices in the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

8. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried testicles to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

9. Sprinkle the crispy fried testicles with a pinch of salt while they are still hot.

10. Serve the crispy fried lamb testicles hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and accompanied by lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.

11. Encourage your adventurous eaters to dip the testicles in their favorite dipping sauces, such as a spicy mayo, aioli, or hot sauce.
