Origin: London, England
Source: Anonymous, 1846
Ingredients
- 1 fowl
- 1 sweetbread
- veal gravy
- white sauce
- 5/8 pint beef gravy
- forcemeat balls
- truffles
- morels
- mushroom ketchup or lemon-pickle
Instructions
- Take a fowl and blanch it, and also a fine sweet bread; parboil them.
- Then cut off in smooth well shaped slices all the white part of the fowl, and slice the sweetbread in similar pieces.
- Place them together in a fine well-flavoured veal gravy.
- When done, serve neatly in the dish and pour over a fine white sauce, any that may be approved.
- The remainder of the fowl must be cut up in small joints or pieces, not separated from the bone, and fried to become brown.
- Then place them in a stew-pan with forcemeat balls, truffles, and morels, pour over half or three quarters of a pint of beef gravy, and simmer till finished.
- A little mushroom ketchup or lemon-pickle may be added.
- In this manner two very nice entrées may be formed.
