RECIPE

 

  35. Duck With Olives.

  This entree is admired only by the Italians. Poele the
ducks (see No. 10). Pour over them olive sauce, which,
in my humble opinion, is no very great treat. Take a
bottle of French or Italian olives, cut the kernel out, but
preserve the shape of the olive ; blanch them in boiling
water to take off the salt ; if they are not too briny
put them into a very good Spanish sauce, with the juice
of a lemon and a little cayenne. Serve this sauce with
duck only.
