You should probably avoid eating the lungs of any animal, as they are a prime breeding ground for many types of bacteria, viruses, and airborne contaminants.

However, if you that doesn't dissuade you, you could either boil them (making sure to switch out the water after about 5 minutes of rolling boil).

Another option would be to soak them, rinse well, and cook to a minimum temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit (as measured with a kitchen thermometer inserted at the thickest point of the meat).

However, as being almost completely made of thin, mucous-lined, muscular walls, I can't think of any good way to prepare them, so that they would be even remotely appetizing.
