You will need to order the offal, the brains ahead of time from the butchers. Ingredients.....6 sets of brains, 3 tbs of canol/ rice bran oil, 3 tbs of minced garlic, 400gm can of diced tomatoes, 1 dsp of sugar, 1 tsp of paprika, 1 dsp of minced ginger, cracked black pewpper, 3 tbs of lemon juice, 1/2 cup of fresh coriander leaves, chopped, Soak the brains in cold water for 30 minutes and then remove the membrane. Separate the lobes. Now soak them again in lightly salted water and then rinse under running water to remove all traces of blood. heat the oil in a large frying pan. add the minced garlic, stir in the diced tomatoes, sugar, paprika, ginger, pepper and simmer for 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Add the brains, ladle some sauce on top, cover and simmer for 5 minutes. turn brains and continue to simmer for a further 5 minutes. When the brains firm up, cut each lobe in half. Stir in the lemon juice and coriander and continue to simmer until the lobes are firm. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot or refrigerate to cool and serve as an appetiser. If I cannot get you to try this dish, you can substitute the brains with boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
