VEGAN CERVELLES AU BEURRE NOIR

[Vegan Calf's Brains in Brown Butter Sauce]

...Julia says that brown butter sauce and brains are almost synonyms as they go so well together...
...so first you blanch the vegan tofu brains in some lemon juice and water...
...then cut them into half inch slices...
...and marinate them in more lemon juice, salt, pepper, olive oil, and parsley...
...mix some Vegan Butter and oil over moderately high heat...
...drain the marinated vegan tofu brains and roll in some flour...shake off the excess...
...brown lightly for 3 to 4 minutes on each side...
...Julia says to make the VEGAN BEURRE NOIR - BEURRE NOISETTE separately...
...and then pour that over your sautéed cutlets...
...we served ours with some Yukon Gold potatoes and peas and carrots...
...Vegan Brains are delicious...
