METHOD
Put extra virgin olive oil, sherry vinegar into a pan and bring to a gentle simmer. Add sugar to liquid and dissolve. Warm the blanched vegetables through this base liquor and season with a little lemon juice and sea salt.
Season sweetbreads and dust lightly in flour. Roast in some olive oil and a touch of butter until they are medium-rare but crisp.
