🧂 材料

500 g Veal or lamb sweetbreads(Veal sweetbreads are generally preferred for their milder flavor and tender texture. Ensure they are fresh.)
1 large bowl Ice water(For soaking and shocking the sweetbreads.)
generous Coarse sea salt or kosher salt(For seasoning. Use to taste.)
2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice(For serving. A bright, acidic counterpoint to the richness of the sweetbreads.)
to taste Optional: Freshly ground black pepper

👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Prepare the sweetbreads: Rinse the sweetbreads under cold running water. Place them in a large bowl filled with ice water. Soak for at least 1 hour, changing the water once or twice if it becomes cloudy. This helps to remove any residual blood and impurities.
⏱️ 1 hour
2
Blanch the sweetbreads: Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the soaked sweetbreads to the boiling water and blanch for 5 minutes. This firms them up, making them easier to handle and clean.
⏱️ 5 minutes
3
Shock and drain: Immediately transfer the blanched sweetbreads to the bowl of ice water. Let them chill for about 10-15 minutes. This stops the cooking process and helps to firm the texture. Drain them thoroughly.
⏱️ 10-15 minutes
4
Clean and trim: Gently remove any tough outer membrane, connective tissue, or excess fat from the sweetbreads. They should be relatively clean and uniform in shape. You can cut them into serving-sized pieces if desired.
⏱️ 15 minutes
5
Chill before grilling: For best results, place the cleaned sweetbreads on a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps them hold their shape during grilling.
⏱️ 30 minutes
6
Preheat the grill: Prepare your grill for direct, medium-high heat. Aim for a temperature of approximately 200-230°C (400-450°F). Ensure the grill grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
7
Grill the sweetbreads: Season the sweetbreads generously with coarse salt and optional black pepper. Place them on the hot grill. Grill for about 7-10 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside, and tender and creamy within. Avoid overcooking, which can make them tough.
⏱️ 15-20 minutes
8
Serve immediately: Remove the grilled mollejas from the grill. Arrange them on a platter and drizzle generously with fresh lemon juice. Serve hot as an appetizer or part of an asado.
⏱️ 2 minutes
