Preparation

  1. In a casserole, pour the veal stock, demi-glace and Cajun seasoning. Bring to boil and reduce the sauce to a creamy sauce. If necessary, adjust the seasoning by adding salt and pepper.
  2. Pare the sweetbreads and place them in a cold lemon water.
  3. Separate the lobes taking care to remove the connective and adipose tissues surrounding the sweetbreads and return them to the lemon water.
