Steps:
- Filet the criadillas using a sharp knife. Remove the skin and cut each testicle into 4, length-ways.
- Bring a salted large pot of water to the boil and place the criadillas into the pot. Cover and leave to simmer for 10 minutes.
- Whilst your criadillas are cooking, in a separate bowl combine the breadcrumbs with garlic, thyme, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper and mix well.
- Remove the criadillas from the pan and pat dry, leaving for around 5 minutes.
- Fill a frying pan with enough oil to shallow fry and pre-heat.
- Crack an egg in to a separate bowl and whisk briefly. Now dip each of your criadillas into the egg and then into the breadcrumb mix.
- Once they are all coated, pop them into the frying pan for around 3 minutes or until they float to the surface.
- Take them out of the pan and serve with salsa.
- Enjoy!

ROCKY MOUNTAIN OYSTERS
These are made from what is left after many ranchers castrate the spring calves. Many times they are just roasted over a campfire but the recipe below is what is served in local Colorado restaurants. Don't be a sissy about them. They are actually very good. Of course my prep time does not include the time to remove these meats from the animal.

Steps:
- Split the tough skin-like muscle that surrounds each "oyster" (use a sharp knife). You can also remove the skin easily if the meat is frozen and then peeled while thawing.
- Soak in a pan of salt water one hour; drain.
- Transfer to a large pot and add enough water to float the meat.
- Add the vinegar to the pot.
- Parboil, drain and rinse.
- Let cool and slice each oyster into 1/4 inch thick ovals.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of sliced oyster to taste.
- Combine flour, cornmeal and some garlic powder to taste.
- Roll each slice into flour mixture.
- Dip into milk.
- Roll again into flour mixture.
- Dip into wine.
- (repeat the procedure for a thicker crust).
- Fry in hot oil or fat seasoned with the bottled hot sauce to taste (be careful, it will sizzle when you add the hot sauce); fry until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Serve with cocktail sauce if desired.
CRIADILLAS - BULL FRIES
The testicles of Spanish fighting bulls are prized because they are thought to confer bravery and masculinity. Small portions are served as tapas. As this is not a commonly available product, you may need to ask your butcher to order them for you.

- Combine the water, salt, pickling spice, brown sugar, bay leaves and pink salt and bring to a boil to dissolve. Chill the brine. Trim the testicles of their outer sheath if attached (you may or may not have to, depending on your supplier).
- After 4 days, bring a pot of water to a simmer, turn off the heat, add the testicles and allow to sit in the hot water for 10 minutes for small testicles like from lamb or deer, or 15 minutes for beef, then remove and chill in cold water. The idea here is to gently cook them so you can remove the membrane, but not with so much heat that it bursts, which ruins the attractive egg shape.
- Remove the testicles from the water, dry with a paper towel, then, using a sharp paring knife, carefully remove the inner membrane to reveal the inner meat. It will be soft and flubbery. If you have time, allow the peeled testicle(s) to sit uncovered in the fridge for a few hours or overnight before smoking, to help for a nice smoky skin, or pellicle.
