Beef, Veal, Sweetbreads, Richard Fl. 

Every couple of years I get a craving for sweetbreads, usually veal. I know that this dish is not for most, but I do not like green bell peppers. Each his own. Hope a few of you enjoy! 

 


INGREDIENTS: 
The ingredients are listed in the link plus a few modifications I did. I used a few leeks as there are no ramps around here eggcept for boats on the water. 
This sauce is great on steak. 

1. Took a pound of veal sweetbreads and soaked for a day and then parboiled for 4 minutes, removed as much of membrane as possible, then pressed under a metal fajita pan between paper towels overnight in the frig. 


 


2. Sliced the sweet breads into medium thickness, about 1/4" and added to hot cast iron pan with butter, little olive oil S & P. Tossed around for about 5 minutes. 


 

3. This sauce is to die for over steaks or whatever. 

 

4. Sauce, Beef, Steak, Ramp, Morel, Cognac Cream Sauce, Hoss's BBQ 

5. http://www.greeneggers.com/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&func=view&id=1103259&catid=1 

6. I changed it up slightly by adding 1/3 cup rehydrated (in red wine) morel mushrooms, couple Tbs small whole capers and 3 Tbs cream cheese. 

7. The morel shrooms were a trade out for seasonings from fellow egger Jon Stahl in Alaska. Thanks John. 

8. Served over toast tips. 

9. Had couscous and yellow squash/onions as side dishes. 


 

Recipe Type: Main Dish, Meat

    Richard, your post title is redundant. :lol: 

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    They really have no flavor or texture.  However you might like the steak sauce on beef.
