Sweetbreads and Asparagus Tips

 Sweetbreads and Asparagus Tips 

1 tablespoon of  lemon juice 

2 sweetbreads 

1 tablespoon of butter

1 cup of sweet  warm milk or cream 

1 tablespoon of  flour 

1/2 teaspoon of salt 

2 egg yolks 

1/2  teaspoon of celery salt 

1 can of asparagus tips or same amount of fresh ones 

Clean the sweetbreads and soak them for three hours in the heavily salted cold water and cook them in in the boiling salted water with the lemon juice added in his water  for at least twenty minutes. Drop the boiled sweatbreads into cold water when cool,  and put on ice. When ready to use, cut them into thin and  small pieces. 

Make a sauce for the sweetbreads this way

Put the butter into the  cast iron saucepan and mix well the melted warm butter with flour, then gradually add into the skillet  the warm milk, or cream, while stirring vigorously to keep sauce smooth and without lumps.  Boil the sauce for  a few minutes, add a pinch of  salt and pour it on the sweetbreads. 

Let them simmer for  ten minutes, then add into this sauce the asparagus tips. If you use fresh tips of asparagus, please, boil them in salted water until tender, before you add them into the sauce. Let them heat through, and just before serving and add into this sauce the beaten yolks of two eggs, and mix thoroughly through sauce. Two sweetbreads will serve six persons.

THIS IS THE TRADITIONAL WAY MY FAMILY PREPARES THE TRADITIONAL PURITAN ORGAN MEAT DISH - SWEETBREADS. THIS IS A NICE TREAT OF  THE SUNDAY BRUNCH   OF OUR  FAMILY IN THE  STATE OF CALIFORNIA, GREAT BRITAIN AND LITHUANIA, AS WELL AS THE WHOLE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.  THE  TRADITIONAL SWEETBREADS IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE TRADITIONAL AMERICAN  STAPLE, BUT THIS  DISH IS AS WELL LOVED BY OUR  FAMILIES IN ENGLAND, LITHUANIA AND WORLDWIDE,  AND CAN BE  PREPARED BY THE  FAMILIES ALL THROUGH THE YEAR, THOUGH THIS IS THE FESTIVE DISH OF THE LATE AUTUMN AND HALLOWEEN SEASON. THE  SPICES THEY MAY BE SERVED  WITH ARE MOSTLY THE  BLACK PEPPER AND SALT.  GARNI WITH FINELY CHOPPED FRESH CELERY.  SWEETBREADS IS TRADITIONAL STAPLE OF THE LATE AUTMN IN THE  STATE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA  AND IS   AVAILABLE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR MORE THAN HUNDRED OF YEARS, HOWEVER THIS   IS CONSIDERED TO BE   MORE OF A  SEASONAL MEAL OF THE LATE AUTUMN, HALLOWEEN AND ALL SAINTS EVE  AND  SELDOM OF WINTER TIME. SWEETBREADS  IS CONSIDERED  TO BE THE  REAL AMERICAN  DELICACY AND THE CROWN OF THE FESTIVE DINNER TABLE.

THIS  IS TRADITIONAL RECIPE OF THE GRAND AMERICAN CUISINE.-HISTORICAL RECIPE WHICH DATES 1800DS. THE SWEETBREADS IN MILK SAUCE WITH ASPARAGUS TIPS WAS CONSIDERED AS THE SAFE AND SCROMPTUOUS  ALL YEAR ROUND DISH, SUITABLE AND  ALLOWED FOR  THE LITTLE CHILDREN AND TODDLERS, IF THE HEAVY SPICE, LIKE THE BLACK PEPPER WAS AVOIDED.
