Preparation
Remove sweetbreads covering and connective tissues. Soak sweetbreads in cold water for 2 to 3 hours. Drain, rinse well and pat dry. In large skillet, sauté green onion and mushrooms in half the butter for 4 minutes while stirring. Add sweetbreads and remaining butter. Cook over low heat for 20 minutes, partly covered, turning a few times until brown on each side. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in wine and simmer until reduced to half. Stir in 2/3 of poppy seeds and cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer over low heat for 7 minutes, stirring gently. Remove sweetbreads from skillet and slice crosswise. Arrange sweetbreads in serving plates over generous amount of sauce. Garnish with poppy seeds and serve with fresh asparagus.
