Author Notes
Lamb sweetbreads are so delicate and flavorful. We make them at home a lot in the Spring and into the Summer (when lamb is in season). They are quick and relatively easy to make and a nice appetizer. —coffeefoodwrite

Ingredients
-
1 pound
lamb sweetbreads (the smaller the better)

salt

pepper

paprika
-
butter

Directions
-
(If your butcher has not already cleaned them...) Clean the sweetbreads by removing the membrane lining and cutting off visible excess fat tissue. Wash and dry thoroughly.
-
Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika.
-
Sauté in a combination of ½ butter and ½ olive oil over medium heat until golden (about 4 minutes per side depending on size.) You don’t want to dry them out, but you want them fully cooked.

Eat while hot – like chips!
