RECIPE

 

 
21. Capons a la Turque.

  Take two white capons, empty them, and put them
into warm water that they may disgorge the blood. Have
ready some rice which has boiled till soft in rich broth; put
this rice, well seasoned, into the bodies of the capons ; then
truss them, cover them with layers of bacon, wrap them
up in paper, and spit them ; they must be an hour roasting.
When done, dish them with a garnish of soft rice, and a
smooth sauce.
