Heat up the chicken stock, add the gelatin and let it dissolve, then add the lemon juice and zest, mustard seed and finely chopped parsley. Pour the chicken stock into the cooked veal, put the mixture into a terrine and allow to cool. After the mixture has cooled completely, cut into nice slices. Chop the parsley and blend it together with the oil at 60°C (140°C). Add the spinach and heat the oil to 70°C (158°C). Pour the oil through a fine mesh sieve.
Make nice rolls of cucumber, mix cucumber juice with sushi vinegar and lecithin and mix with a handheld blender until a beautiful foam is created. Poach the sweetbread in water with bouquet garni for 5 minutes, remove the membrane, cut into 1.5 cm pieces, dredge the sweetbread in flour and fry until crisp.
