Chickens with Macedoine of Spring Roots.
Prepare for boiling two fat chickens of
an equal size, and
rub the breasts over with butter ; slice a lemon
without the
rind, lay a few pieces on the breasts of the
chickens, and
completely cover them with slices of fat bacon,
tied closely
round ; place them in a stew-pan, fill up with
poele ; let them
boil for half an hour; when you dish them, shake
the water
out and wipe off the fat. They should be served
with a
delicate Macedonian, made thus : -Boil some very
young
carrots, cut them of a neat shape ; also some
turnips, cut the
same; a few French beans, cut; and some asparagus
points
boiled quite green; have boiling a very clear
rich Spanish
sauce, and a few minutes before you serve the
chickens throw
these roots into the sauce ; let them boil up,
then skim the
sauce, and add a little sugar and salt.
