Preparation
- Soak the veal sweetbreads overnight in salted water. Rinse well to remove any blood. Then place the sweetbreads in a saucepan with the milk, peppercorns, garlic and thyme and bring to the boil. Remove the sweetbreads after 5 minutes and trim. Season with salt and pepper, coat in flour and fry in butter until crispy.
- Add the garlic cloves to all the ingredients for the mayon-naise (except for the grapeseed oil). Place everything into a blender or Thermomix bowl and mix for a few seconds. Gradually add the grapeseed oil until the mayonnaise has the desired texture. Transfer to a piping bag.
- Stew all the ingredients for the sauce in a saucepan, deglaze with the Noilly Prat, reduce and add the chicken stock and cream. Simmer for 2 hours, season and whisk in some knobs of butter.
- Garnish with the pea shoots.
