Calf’s sweetbreads are ideal for this dish, but the much less expensive lamb’s sweetbreads make an acceptable substitute. They are served grilled on skewers, accompanied by a bowl of bread sauce.

Ingredients

  • lb (750 g) prepared calf’s sweetbreads
  • 12 oz (350

Method

Cut the sweetbreads into thick slices. Remove the rind from the bacon and stretch the rashers around the sweetbreads. Thread on to 6 skewers and cook under a medium-hot grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally.

Fry the breadcrumbs in butter until brown and coat the sweetbreads with them. Arrange the sweetbreads on a bed of the remaining crumbs. Serve immediately.
