RECIPE

 

29. Brown Fricasseed Chicken or Rabbit,

  You must take your young rabbit or chicken and skin
it; then cut it into very small pieces, and rub these with
yolks of egg. Have ready some grated bread, a little beaten
mace, and a little grated nutmeg mixed together; roll the meat
in it. Place a little butter in your stew-pan, and when it
is melted, put in your meat ; fry it to a fine brown color,
and take care that none sticks to the bottom of the pan ;
then pour the butter gravy, and introduce half a pint
of gravy, a glass of red wine, a few mushrooms a little salt
and a piece of butter rolled in flour. When the whole is of
due thickness, dish it up and send it to table.
