Maxim Tarusin from the Voskhod restaurant shared the recipe with us: "Brains are, of course, a valuable by-product, but ask your friends who has ever tried beef brains - only a few will confirm, while the rest will make a disgusted face. It is not only their physiology that is frightening about brains, but also their gelatinous, inert mass. Surprisingly, those who, for example, enjoy eating foie gras or some kind of abalone, which are similar in texture to them, turn up their noses at the word "brains". But it is precisely this extreme tenderness, like that of a good aspic, that is the main advantage of this by-product. It is worth rolling it in breadcrumbs and frying, and you will get an interesting contrast of crispy crust and tender core. In order not to scare people, then it is worth leveling the taste with the help of two at once bright sauces: kimchi gives the brains a deceptive marinade flavor, and sweet chili is simply good with all offal. An important trick to keep the brains from overcooking, to keep them whole and retain their texture: when cooking, do not bring them to readiness: just boil them and then leave them to cool in the broth. And about slicing - you can, of course, shyly chop this essence into small pieces, but I prefer large layers that preserve the convoluted structure of the brain, let the eaters know what is on their plate.
