About

For a while now I’ve wanted to cook lamb sweetbreads in a puff pastry case and here it is. This is a very tasty dish but it’s best to ask your butcher to prepare the sweetbreads for you as they can be a bit fiddly. Serve two per person for a generous portion with vegetables of your choice. Mine would be pan-fried courgettes (zucchini), steamed spinach or red chard.
