RECIPE

 

  
  
  10. Tranchea Piennoisea a la Tomato.
  Cut some small slices of stale brown bread about
an inch and a half square, stamp these out with a neat
shape by means of a round faney cutter.  Next pound in
a mortar the following ingredients :-Two ounces of cooked
whitemeat (veal, chicken, or rabbit), two yolks of eggs,
one ounce of fresh butter, a little each of chopped parsley,
tarragon, and chervil, and one tablespoonful of Béchamel
sauce ; season to taste, work well, and pass all through a
wire-sieve. Spread the round slices of bread thinly with
butter, cover the surface of each with a thin layer of the
prepared paste, on this lay a thin slice of cooked ox-tongue,
cut a trifle smaller than the bread with a similar-shaped
cutter; on the tongue place a slice of fresh tomato not
larger than the tongue slices. Sprinkle the slices with salt
and pepper, work up the remainder of the sauce with a
tablespoonful of very stiff tomato sauce, put it in a small
paper forcing-bag, ornament each slice to taste, decorate
with tarragon leaves and parsley.
