Instructions
Bring a 2 quart pot of water to simmer and add in the garlic, peppercorns, and herbs. Simmer for 15 minutes. Then gently lower the brains into the pot and simmer for 6 minutes.
Remove the brains with a slotted spoon and let cool. When the brains are cold and firm, separate the lobes into 2 inch chunks.
Meanwhile, prepare 3 bowls with the flour, the egg whisked with milk, and the breadcrumbs.
Roll each brain segment in flour, then coat it in the egg mix, then coat it in the breadcrumbs. Deep-fry the brain until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes.
Drain on paper towels and serve immediately with green sauce.
To make green sauce: Finely chop herbs and mix with the anchovies, garlic, and capers.
Add enough olive oil so that the mixture is spoonable but not runny. Season with black pepper.
