Larded Sweetbreads

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Soak the sweetbreads in tepid water for 1 hour to cleanse them.

  2. Whiten them in cold water until firm enough to pass a rolling pin through without tearing.

  3. Wash and drain the sweetbreads, then press them slightly to give a flat form and trim them.

  4. Lard the sweetbreads and place them in a saucepan lined with narrow strips of bacon.

  5. Cook the sweetbreads with heat from above and below for 30 minutes.

  6. Glaze and serve with Tomato sauce or any other sauce.
