Florentine-Style Mixed Fry (Fritto Misto alla Fiorentina)

Ingredients

Dredge the veal slices in flour, dip them in beaten egg, and coat them in breadcrumbs. Fry in hot oil until golden, then drain on paper towels.
Blanch the brains in boiling water, cut into bite-sized pieces, dredge in flour, dip in beaten egg, and fry in hot oil.
Dredge the liver slices in flour and fry in oil; repeat the exact same process for the kidneys.
Cut the zucchini into sticks (batons), dredge in flour, and fry in hot oil.
Dredge the raw cauliflower florets in flour and fry directly in hot oil until tender and crisp.
Quarter the artichokes, dredge in flour, dip in beaten egg, coat in breadcrumbs, and fry in hot oil.
Season all the fried meats and vegetables with salt only after they have been thoroughly drained.
To serve, arrange the brains in the center of a warm serving platter, surrounded by the kidney slices, veal, and liver. Arrange the fried vegetables around the outside border. Serve piping hot.
