Sweetbread meat is from the gland of cattle, and this is how my husband and I prepare them. We like to cook them in tiny pieces. The taste reminds me of chicken hearts — only better. One pound of sweetbreads makes plenty for 2 using this recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sweetbreads
- 1 cup oil for frying, or as needed
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Gather all ingredients.
Step 2
Tear sweetbreads apart into 1-inch pieces. Discard any stringy ligaments holding them together, rinsing with water as you go.
Step 3
Drain in a colander set in the sink.
Step 4
Heat 1/2 inch oil in a large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 5
Place flour into a bowl. Press slightly wet sweetbreads into flour to coat.
Step 6
Fry coated sweetbreads in hot oil until golden brown, turning once.
Step 7
Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt and pepper.
Editor’s Note:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
