Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Number of servings: 6

Necessary ingredients:

For surimi rolls:
- 6 pieces of surimi
- 50 g pork brain (make sure it's fresh and well washed)
- 1 egg
- Salt, pepper to taste

For the crust:
- 100 g wheat flour
- 1 egg (for breading)
- 3 tablespoons of poppy seeds
- Oil for frying

Preparing the brain filling

1. Washing and boiling: Start by washing the pork brain well under a stream of cold water. It is essential to remove any impurities. Then, place it in a pot with water and a pinch of salt and boil it for about 10 minutes. This step will help remove the strong taste and make the brain more pleasant to eat.

2. Draining and cooling: After boiling, remove the brain from the water and let it drain for 5 minutes. It is important that the filling is not wet; otherwise, the surimi rolls will become soggy and will not have a pleasant texture.

3. Preparing the filling: In a bowl, mash the brain with a fork. Add an egg, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well to obtain a homogeneous composition. This will be the delicious filling for your surimi rolls.

Creating the surimi rolls

1. Unrolling the surimi: Take each piece of surimi and carefully unroll it. They are very delicate, so be careful not to break them. Each piece should be large enough to be filled.

2. Filling and rolling: On each piece of surimi, spread a thin layer of brain filling. I recommend not overdoing it with the filling to avoid it spilling during frying. Carefully roll the surimi to form a roll.

3. Preparing for frying: Prepare a bowl with flour, another with a beaten egg, and a third with poppy seeds. This crust will give a crispy and flavorful appearance to your rolls. Dip each roll in flour, then in egg, and finally in poppy seeds. Make sure they are evenly coated.

Frying the rolls

1. Heating the oil: In a deep frying pan, add enough oil to cover the rolls. Heat it over medium heat. It is important that the oil is well heated to achieve a crispy crust.

2. Frying: Carefully add the rolls to the hot oil and fry them for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to allow for even frying.

3. Draining excess oil: Once the rolls are fried, remove them onto a paper towel to absorb the excess oil. This step is essential to achieve a lighter and more digestible dish.

Serving the breaded surimi rolls

These surimi rolls filled with brain are served hot, alongside a fresh salad to balance the crispy texture. You can also add a yogurt sauce with dill or a spicy sauce for an extra flavor boost. They are also delicious with a refreshing drink, such as a fruit cocktail or a pale beer.

Nutritional information

A serving of filled surimi rolls contains approximately 250 calories, being rich in protein due to the surimi and brain. Pork brain is also a good source of B vitamins, essential for the optimal functioning of the body. Moderate consumption of brain provides valuable nutrients, but it is important to consume it in moderation.

Possible variations

If you want to experiment, you can replace the brain with fresh cottage cheese or a sautéed vegetable filling for a vegetarian option. You can also add herbs or spices to customize the flavor of the dish.
