URUGUAY

This is the simplest way I know to cook sweetbreads, and it’s certainly one of the best. It requires only two ingredients: sweetbreads and salt. (I’ve added optional pepper.) You’ll find it on the grills at Montevideo’s Mercado del Puerto and at Buenos Aires steak houses, too. The grilling produces a crispy, crusty exterior, while leaving the interior soft and moist. The blanching, poaching, and pressing recommended by French chefs (which can take several hours) is omitted entirely. Sweetbreads, by the way, are the thymus glands of calves.

Serve with one of the Argentinian chimichurris.


   _ 1/2 lb veal sweetbreads
   Salt, coarse (kosher or sea)
   Black pepper, coarsely ground, to taste (optional)
   Lemon wedges, for serving


1. Preheat the grill to high.

2. Rinse the sweetbreads under cold running water, drain, and blot dry with paper towels. Trim off any pieces of vein or sinew, then butterfly the sweetbreads, that is, cut them horizontally almost in half through the narrow side and open out like a book (see Note).

3. When ready to cook, oil the grill grate. Sprinkle the sweetbreads generously on both sides with salt and pepper (if using). Place the sweetbreads, cut side down to start with, on the hot grate and grill, turning with tongs, until crusty and browned, 6 to 8 minutes per side (12 to 16 minutes in all). Taste for seasoning, adding salt if necessary. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges.

Serves 6 to 8 as an appetizer, 4 as an entrée

Note: Lamb sweetbreads would be prepared the same way.
