What it is
A luxurious and rich gratin featuring tender cooked brain (typically beef or lamb), bathed in a creamy, savory sauce, flavored with spices and onion, and topped with a generous layer of melted cheese, baked until golden. Modified to remove traditional breadcrumbs and potatoes.
Key ingredients
Brain (beef or lamb), heavy cream, cheese (e.g., Parmesan, Gruyère), onion, garlic, butter, white wine (optional), spices, salt, pepper.
If you order it anyway
Crucially, request no breadcrumbs ('pan rallado') and no potatoes ('papas'). Confirm that no flour or other starch is used as a thickener in the cream sauce.
Watch out for
Hidden flour or starch thickeners in the sauce, breadcrumbs common in traditional versions, onion content can add carbs.
