Lamb Sweetbreads Pilpil Style

What it is
Delicate lamb sweetbreads (thymus gland), pan-seared or gently cooked in a classic 'pilpil' sauce made from generous amounts of olive oil, sliced garlic, and a hint of dried chili for a rich, emulsified sauce.
Key ingredients
Lamb sweetbreads, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, dried red chili flakes (ají cacho de cabra), salt, black pepper, fresh parsley.
Optional tweaks
None needed. Ensure no flour or starch is used to thicken the pilpil sauce, which is not traditional.
Watch out for
None, as the authentic pilpil sauce is inherently keto-friendly.
