34. Capilotade of Duck.
If you have any roasted ducks left, and
are called upon
for one entree more, cut them up as for eating
; flay them, and
let them simmer in a thin Italian sauce. Fry
a few slices
of bread cut into the shape of a kite, and send
up with the
juice of a lemon. If you should not have any
Italian sauce
ready, mince a few shallots, boil them in vinegar
; make a
little browning (roux), which you moisten with
broth, or
even water, and mix a little glaze seasoned with
salt and
pepper ; put the shallots into this sauce ; let
it boil a few
minutes; then put the duck into the sauce to
heat, but
without boiling, and give it a high seasoning.
Such common
dishes are always to be highly seasoned.
