Method
- 1 Soak the calf thymus in cold water for 4 hours, changing the water four times until all the blood is gone.
- 2 Blanch for 5 minutes, then soak in ice water and peel off the outer membrane; the membrane is the meat that shrinks when pan-fried.
- 3 Press the meat between two plates under a heavy object for 1 hour to flatten and firm it.
- 4 Soak dried morille mushrooms for 25 minutes, then reserve the filtered soaking liquid.
- 5 Coat the meat in flour, then pan-fry in butter for 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- 6 Sauté the shallots with morille, pour in the white wine and mushroom soaking liquid, simmer until reduced, then add the cream on the stovetop.
