Sweetbread glasses with morel mushrooms
Ingredients:.
· 300 g veal sweetbreads
· 1 package flaky pastry dough
· 100 g small fresh morels
· 10 cl crème fraîche
· 1 shallot
· 1 egg yolk
· butter
· salt and pepper
Recipe:.
Put the sweetbreads to soak in a container filled with cold salted water. Repeat this operation over two hours replacing the water several times. Keep cool overnight. Blanch them in water brought to a boil for 10 minutes. Pass them under a trickle of cold water. Remove the skin and membranes and cut into walnut-sized pieces. Put aside. Clean the mushrooms by plunging them in water then draining them. Lightly cook the shallots in a pan with a bit of butter. Then add the mushrooms, sweetbreads, salt and pepper, cooking everything for 5 minutes. Pour the mixture in ovenproof glasses. To cover each glass with a cap of pastry, cut 4 small squares of dough. Brush the dough pieces with egg yolk and set aside. Put the glasses in a dish containing hot water up to a quarter of the glass height. Bake as a bain marie in a traditional oven for about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
