RECIPE

 

 
  23. Scollops of Sweetbreads with Green Peas.

  Take four sweetbreads, let them disgorge, and blanch
them thoroughly. Next cut them into scollops, as large as
possible. Cover them in a frying-pan with clarified butter
and a little salt. A quarter of an hour before you send
up, " toss " them over a stove with a clear fire, turn them
round, and when done, drain the butter, and put a little
glaze into the sauté-pan. Keep stirring the sweetbreads
in the glaze ; dish them in a circle, and send up the
peas in the middle.
When you have some remains of sweetbreads, cut them
into scollops, make them hot in a little light glaze, and
after having dished them in circular form cover them with
the. peas. Scollops of sweetbreads are easier to dress when
you put between them a slice of fried bread, cut round,
and the green peas in the middle ; without the fried bread
they will not keep the shape in which you have dished
them.
