Rocky Mountain oysters with chile dipping sauce
For the sauce:
2 cups red chile sauce (such as that used for enchiladas)
2 cups hot mango chutney, such as Major Grey?s
¼ cup yellow mustard seed
Mix all the ingredients and chill for at least several hours to give the flavors a chance to mellow and mingle. Makes 4½ cups.
For the Rocky Mountain oysters:
12 bison testicles
1 quart peanut oil
1½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
Heat the oil to 325 degrees. Cut and peel the skin away from the testicles with a sharp peeling knife. They will peel and slice much more easily if they are slightly frozen.
Wash the testicles. Cut them into 1-inch pieces (we dare you not to grimace). Combine the flour, black pepper, cayenne, and seasoned salt, and roll the pieces in this mixture. Fry in the peanut oil for 3 minutes, until a light crust forms. Dredge on a paper towel, skewer each piece with a toothpick, and serve with the sweet chile sauce on the side. If cooking at home, keep the oysters warm in a 200 degree oven. Serves six as an appetizer or two as an entrée.
