Braised Sweetbreads
- 1 1/2 pounds sweetbreads
- 18 teaspoon mace ground
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons flour, all-purpose
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil flavorless
- 2 tablespoons shallots finely minced
- 1 cup sherry dry
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
- PREHEAT OVEN TO 375F (190C).
- Pat the sweetbreads dry and peel and discard the most obvious membranes without breaking the sweetbreads into small pieces.
- Mix mace, salt and pepper with flour, and dust the sweetbreads, shaking off the excess.
- Heat the oil in a heavy, oven-proof frying pan over medium heat on the stove and add the sweetbreads.
- Cook until they are dark golden on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
- Do not crowd the pan or they won't brown.
- Tilt the pan and pour off any remaining oil and add the shallots, wine and broth and bring to a boil.
- Cover the skillet and transfer to the oven.
- Turn temperature to 325F (160C) and cook 35 minutes, turning once.
- Remove pan from oven and use a slotted spoon to transfer the sweetbreads to a platter.
- Add the cream to the cooking juices and quickly boil the liquid until it starts to become sauce-like, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter.
- When it's time for dinner, strain the sauce over the sweetbreads; decorate with slices of lemon.
