1. Heat a spoon of oil and knob of butter in a frying pan. Add the onions and fry gently until golden. Add the sweetbreads and fry until golden-brown, stirring constantly.

3. Add the wine or wine and stock, stirring well. Bring slowly to the boil, then lower the heat. Add the bouquet garni, cover the pan and simmer gently for 45 minutes or until the sweetbreads are tender.
4. Add the mushrooms 5 minutes before the end of cooking time and discard the bouquet garni.
5. Stir in the double cream. Be careful not to let the sauce boil or the cream will curdle. Adjust seasoning. Transfer to a hot serving platter, sprinkle with a little parsley and serve immediately.
