Author:Alizabeth Anderson 

 

 Ingredients 

  • 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar * 

  • 1/8 cup of honey 

  • 5oz Bison,Elk or Lamb Pancreas(Thymus and Pancreas are acting as Sweetbreads in this recipe) 

  • 1 Bison or Elk Thymus 

  • 1-gallon cold water 

  • 1 cup white wine vinegar 

  • 2Tbsp. Sea salt 

  • 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 

  • sea salt, to taste 

  • 2ripenectarines or peaches (thickly sliced) 

 

Instructions 

  • Blend balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-high heat until glaze is reduced by half, stirring occasionally. It should coat the back of a spoon whenit's ready. (This can take a while.) 

  • Rinsethymus and pancreaswell, then transfer to a large soup pot. Add water,vinegar and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes. (This seems like a lot of water for a small amount of meat, but the ratio is effective for enhancing both theirtexture and flavor.) 

  • Drainsweetbreads in a colander, then put them in a bowl of ice water to cool. 

  • Whilethey’re cooling, preheat your grill on high. 

  • Drain sweetbreads and pat them dry. Remove any large pieces of membrane or gristle you see. Then pull the sweetbread apart with your hands into pieces 1½ inches big. Usually, sweetbreads are formed in suchaway that this is easy to do. However, if you have difficulty, feel free to cut them into sections with a knife. 

  • Toss the sweetbreads in a bowl with the olive oil until well coated. Season with salt and toss again. 

  • Place one nectarine slice on the bottom of each skewer. Alternate with sweetbreads until skewers are full. 

  • Turn your grill down to medium high heat. Cook the skewers, covered, for 3 minutes. Then turn the skewers over and cook for another 3 minutes. 

  • Remove from heat and baste with balsamic glaze. Serve! 

 

 

Enjoy.
