How to Cook Sweetbreads - CHOW

http://www.chow.com Sweetbreads are the thymus (commonly mistaken as thyroid, even by professional chefs) or pancreas gland of a lamb, calf, or piglet. Their function in a live animal: helping with the immune system and digestion. Their function on a plate: deliciousness. Christophe Gerard, chef de cuisine of FARM at the Carneros Inn, blanches them in milk, then drains them and pan-fries them in butter. You don't need flour to get them nice and crisp.

@ineed1shotoflove you can often pre-order them at a good butcher, but they are rarely available when you just walk in.

@TheNikki956 Funny, I grew up knowing molllejas as chicken gizzards, I googled it, and it seems that sweetbreads are known as mollejas in Spain, I wonder why it changed in Latin America.

@garycalgary Never had cow's testicels. Everytime I look for them someone has already taken them, all I see is a huge hole that smells like a cross between beef and fish.
