Equipment
- Large pot
- Sharp knife
- Cutting Board
- Grill or Skillet
- Tongs
- Paper towels
Ingredients
- Beef Sweetbreads 1 Lb
- Whole Lemons 2
- Salt 1 Tbsp
- Black Pepper 1 Tsp
- Garlic 3 Cloves
- Water 1 Quart
Instructions
- Wash the meat under cool running water. Place it in a bowl with lemon juice. Let it sit for ten minutes to clean.
- Place the meat in your large pot. Add enough water to cover every piece. Toss in your garlic and a pinch salt.
- Turn the stove to a high heat now. Bring the water to a rolling boil. Let it cook for twenty minutes total.
- Drain the hot water from the pot. Place the meat into a bowl of ice. This stops the cooking process immediately.
- Peel away any thick or tough membranes. Use your sharp knife for any stubborn bits. Cut the meat into bite-sized cubes.
- Pat every piece dry with a paper towel. Season them heavily with salt and black pepper. Make sure they are coated on all sides.
- Heat your grill or skillet to high heat. Place the pieces on the hot surface carefully. Do not crowd the pan or the grill.
- Sear the meat for five minutes per side. Wait until they look very brown and crispy. Remove them and serve while they are hot.
Notes
- Always boil the meat before you grill it.
- Dry the meat perfectly before adding to the heat.
- Use high heat to get a very crunchy crust.
- Do not skip the lemon soak during prep.
- Trim away all of the tough outer skin.
- Serve them immediately while they are still warm.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lime at the end.
- Keep the pieces small for the best texture.
