RECIPE

19. Small Game
Take some cold game, remove all the meat from the bones
and skin ; put it in a mortar and pound with a small handful
of cooked rice, a small piece of fresh butter, and a little
rich brown sauce, with dissolved meat glaze to moisten.
Season with salt, pepper, grated nutmeg, powdered sweet
herbs ; bind with one or two yolks of raw eggs. Rub all
through a sieve ; mix in gently the whites of two eggs
whipped to a stiff foam. Put the mixture into small, well-
greased timbale moulds, and bake in a quick oven ; turn
out on a dish. Sauce round with salmi (p. 277) or poivrade
(p. 330), sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
