About

Brenda Gantt

I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

Serves 4

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1½ tablespoons sherry vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped shallot
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons warm reserved sweetbread poaching oil (see above)
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 cups salad greens, such as friseé, mesclun, or curly endive
  • Olive Oil-Poached Veal Sweetbreads, sliced and warmed
  • ¼ cup finely chopped fresh chives or chervil

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Whisk together the mustard, vinegar, shallot, and thyme in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the poaching oil and olive oil to form a smooth dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  2. Divide the salad greens among four large chilled salad plates. Lay 2 or 3 slices of warm sweetbreads over each serving of greens and drizzle about 2 tablespoons of the dressing over each salad. Garnish with the chives.
