Pržene brizle - Fried sweetbreads

Brizle - iznutrica koju veoma cene profesionalni kuvari i gastronomski znalci. Blagog su ukusa, fine teksture. Mogu se dinstati, kuvati, peći na roštilju, pržiti, pohovati. U zavisnosti od načina pripreme, služe se tople ili hladne, kao predjelo ili glavno jelo.
Pržene brizle pripremaju se jednostavno a izuzetno su ukusne. Кupiti sveže brizle u proverenoj kasapnici i odmah se baciti na pripremu. Nije preporučljivo iznutrice dugo čuvati u frižideru jer spadaju u lako kvarljive namirnice. Brizle očistiti od opne, žilica, oprati ih, potopiti u hladnu vodu na sat-dva (za to vreme par puta promeniti vodu). Pošto nemaju jak miris karakterističan za pojedine iznutrice, nije neophodno da se blanširaju. Ipak, ako niste sigurni da su brizle potpuno sveže, potrebno je da ih prokuvate par minuta u slanoj, zakiseljenoj vodi. Zatim ih isprati tekućom vodom, prosušiti na papirnom ubrusu ili na čistoj kuhinjskoj krpi, iseći komade željene veličine (debljine 1-1.5cm).
Brizle pobiberiti, uvaljati u brašno, ili u kukuruzno brašno, ili u prezle. Pržiti ih na umereno zagrejanom ulju uz češće prevrtanje - da ne bi zagorele, a da se ujedno lepo isprže. U toku prženja može da se doda komad putera. Pržene, rumene brizle izvaditi na papirni ubrus da upije višak masnoće. Poređati ih na tanjir, posoliti (najbolje je upotrebiti krupnu morsku so), poslužiti tople. Kao prilog poslužiti bareno povrće, svežu salatu, pirinač, pire... Obavezno napraviti preliv - žicom umutiti senf, so, biber, jabukovo sirće i ulje. Količine sastojaka prilagoditi ukusu. Preliv poslužiti u posebnoj posudi za sos.
Sastojci: oko 600g brizli, biber, krupna so, brašno (kukuruzno brašno ili prezle), ulje za prženje, komad putera;
preliv: 1-2 kašičice senfa, so, biber, 2-3 kašike jabukovog sirćeta, ulje.
