Instructions

1
Fill a large pot with water. Slice a lemon in half, squeeze each half into the pot, then drop in the lemon. Fill a bowl big enough to accommodate all the sweetbreads with ice and cold water. Bring pot to a gentle boil and blanch the sweetbreads until just firm. Keep in mind sweetbreads will cook at different rates depending on their size, so check them often. The cooking time will vary from 4-10 minutes. Once each is firm, remove from water with a slotted spoon and place in ice water bath.

Once sweetbreads are cool, remove skin and fat, and gently divide sweetbreads into equally sized knobs (about the size of 1/2 a small lemon is my preference). Season the sweetbreads with salt and pepper and place sweetbreads between two sheet pans, place two large cans on top, and place in the fridge for an hour.
