Ingredients

Instructions

  1. From the widest part of the cold braised noix de veau, cut a horizontal slice, or base, 3 centimetres thick, and trim it to a good round shape.
  2. Set a layer of jelly in the bottom of the serving dish and place the slice of veal on it.
  3. Cut the rest of the noix de veau into rectangles a little smaller than those of the Noix de veau à la Caucasienne but twice as thick.
  4. Mask one side of these rectangles with Beurre de raifort and place on each a rectangle of langue écarlate of the same dimensions, cut very thin; trim the corners.
  5. Pipe a cordon of softened butter around the slice of veal, using a bag fitted with a small fluted tube.
  6. Arrange a small vegetable salad bound with Mayonnaise collée in the middle of the slice of veal.
  7. Set a small, well-opened lettuce heart on the salad and surround the whole with the veal and tongue sandwiches.
  8. Serve a cold sauce derived from Mayonnaise separately.
