Soak the veal lungs in cold water to remove impurities.

Cook the veal lungs in salted water for 20 minutes, covered.

After 20 minutes, turn the lungs and cook for another 20-30 minutes until tender.

Check for doneness by piercing; if no clear juice comes out, it's done.

Cool the lungs and heart, then slice them into pieces.

Mix lemon juice, salt, pepper, thyme, and cumin in a bowl.

Add capers and anchovies to the mixture and blend until smooth.

Melt butter in a skillet until it browns slightly.

Add flour to the melted butter and stir until it becomes a roux.

Gradually add the cooking liquid from the veal to the roux, whisking to avoid lumps.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the sliced veal lungs and heart.

Simmer for 15 minutes to combine flavors and thicken the sauce.

Serve garnished with additional herbs if desired.
