Penis Stew. No really. No, *really*.
In honour of Day 7 of 14valentines. Today's subject is sexual assault. There's an essay on the subject here.
I didn't feel right posting something entirely frivolous/sexy today, but nor did I want to be depressing. So with tongue firmly in cheek, here's something to imagine when cursing the male sex. This recipe cracks me up. I've never actually made it, I confess, but a tiny, tiny part of me would like to. Sometimes. Maybe.
This recipe hails, of course, from the incomparable Jennifer Paterson, of Two Fat Ladies fame. Good God, those two knew how to live.
450g/1lb penis (ram's or bull's)
3 tbsp oil
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp coriander seeds, crushed
1 large tomato, chopped
1 tsp cumin seeds, crushed
1 tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper
Scald the penis, drain and clean it.
Place in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to boil, remove any scum, and simmer 10 minutes.
Drain and slice.
Heat oil in a large frying pan, add onion, garlic and coriander and fry until golden.
Add penis slices and fry on both sides for a few minutes.
Stir in remaining ingredients, add enough water to cover, and bring to boil.
Lower heat, cover, and simmer 2 hours, or till tender.
Add water as necessary to prevent burning.
