Preparation 

• Lamb testicles can be grilled, fried, braised, or smoked.

• To grill, leave the testicles whole so the outer membrane crisps and keeps them juicy.

• To fry, batter them in eggs and panko crumbs and deep-fry for Rocky Mountain oysters or pan-fry in a skillet.

• To smoke, soak them in milk or brine them for a day or two before cooking.

Nutrition 

• Lamb testicles are a good source of zinc, iron, magnesium, selenium, and vitamins A, D, E, and K.

• They also contain bio-active testosterone, which can help with hormone balance.

Other names 

• Lamb testicles are also known as Rocky Mountain oysters, prairie oysters, stones, and fries.

• In Arabic countries, they are called baid ghanam and in Turkey they are called koç yumurtası, which both mean "sheep eggs".

• In Spanish-speaking countries, they are called criadillas, which means "little maids".
