Origin: Paris, France
Source: Auguste Escoffier, 1907
Ingredients
- croquette mixture
- or a salpicon of chicken
- forcemeat corresponding to the principal element
- very reduced sauce
- Macaroni
- egg and breadcrumbs
- clarified butter
Instructions
- Take any of the croquette mixtures described further on and shape them into small cutlets.
- Simulate the bone with a fragment of Macaroni, or a point of fried bread for the papillote.
- Alternatively, compose the mixture from a salpicon of chicken, game, fish or shellfish, bound with a relative quantity of forcemeat corresponding to the principal element, and let down with a very reduced sauce.
- Bread the cutlets à l'anglaise like the others.
- In this last case, cook and colour them in clarified butter and not by deep frying.
