How To Cook: |

1. Wash the sweetbreads and soak in 2 quarts cold water with vinegar for 1½ hours; drain. Poach the sweetbreads in the Chicken Stock and bay leaf for 15 minutes.
|
2. Remove the sweetbreads and plunge into cold water. Save the poaching liquid for another use. Allow sweetbreads to cool; drain.
|
3. Carefully pull off the clear membrane that coats the gland. Separate the sweetbreads into 1½-inch pieces, discarding any gristle or fatty parts.
|
4. Dust the sweetbreads in the seasoned flour. Heat a large frying pan and brown the sweetbreads in the garlic and oil for a few minutes. Add the Basque Tomato Sauce and toss together in the frying pan until all is hot.
