  1. Cover veal sweetbreads in cold water and simmer for about 20 minutes until the sweetbreads cook and they look white and puffy. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
  2. While sweetbreads cook combine rub ingredients and set aside.
  3. Also make Salsa Mexicana by mixing all ingredients and set aside.
