Just ask yourself: have you ever eaten sweetbreads? I myself had never prepared it and thought it was high time to try it. Sweetbread is an organ meat located between the sternum and trachea of an animal and is actually a type of gland. It is a tender, juicy piece of meat and is considered a delicacy. There are two types of sweetbreads: the cardiac sweetbreads, which are compact and round and are the best bit, and the cervical sweetbreads, which are elongated and slightly less highly regarded. eating sweetbreads
I decided to make baked sweetbreads with vegetable puree for friends over for dinner one night. It was a culinary adventure as it was my first time preparing this dish. I had to be careful to cook the sweetbreads properly so that it would be moist and tender. After baking, I put the sweetbreads on a bed of creamy vegetable puree and served it all to my friends. They all loved it and were pleasantly surprised.
I'm glad I dared to make this dish. It was a nice culinary experience. I would definitely recommend it to others adventurous enough to try it.

And this is how you make the Baked sweetbreads with vegetable puree:
First, start by soaking the thymus in cold water. Keeps changing the water until the water stays clean.
Then take a pan and put plenty of water in it, add a dash of vinegar and some salt and bring it to a boil.
Then scoop the sweetbreads into the pan and poach it for about 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place a bowl of ice cold water on your counter. (Add some extra ice cubes in the bowl if you want.)
Once the sweetbread is poached, scoop it into the bowl of ice cold water and let it cool.
Now you can carefully peel off the skins of the thymus and any fat residue that may be attached to it. Place the sweetbreads in the fridge for fifteen minutes.
Baking the sweetbreads
Remove the sweetbreads from the refrigerator and cut into slices about 2 cm thick. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and then carefully dip them in the flour so that there is a layer of flour on both sides.
Heat a frying pan and add a knob of clarified butter. You can clarify butter yourself, but nowadays you can also buy it in the supermarket. You may also know it by the name “Ghee”.
Finally, fry the sweetbreads until golden brown on both sides and drain on a paper towel. eating sweetbreads
