Crumbed Lambs Brains

 6 Lambs' brains
 1 tsp Salt
 6 Parsley stalks
 100 g Plain flour
 2 Eggs, beaten
 1 cup Breadcrumbs
 300 g Frozen peas
 1 tbsp Butter, diced
 2 tbsp Grated parmesan
 Oil for frying
1

Soak the brains in a bowl of water and salt for a couple hours, or overnight. Drain and rinse, and gently peel off any skin or membrane

2

Place brains in a fresh pot of cold water with the salt and parsley and bring just to the boil. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry

3

Separate the brain into two lobes and trim neatly. Coat each in seasoned flour, then beaten egg, then breadcrumbs and refrigerate until needed

4

Cook the peas in simmering salted water for two minutes then drain, reserving half a cup of the cooking water and two tablespoons of peas. Whizz remaining peas to a puree in a blender with butter, sea salt, pepper, and parmesan, adding the cooking water by the tablespoon until light and creamy

5

Head the oil and fry the crumbed brains until hot and golden, about one minute. Serve on the pea puree, with remaining peas, mint leaves and lemon wedges
