RECIPE

 

 
10. Chicken Patties with Puree a la Seine.

Take eight or ten dariole moulds and line them with
  paste, fill them with trimmings of paste, cut tops of the
same paste, rub them over with the yolks of eggs, bake
them and then take out the inside. Cut off all the white
meat from two roasted fowls, pound in a mortar until it
can be passed though a fine hair-sieve ; then reduce some
Béchamel, or white sauce, which should be well flavoured with
mushrooms, mix the chickening with the sauce, and season
it before you fill the patties. Do not suffer the puree to boil,
which would totally spoil it.
