Known as a French recipe, with similar versions prepared across other nations.

Ingredients 3 ingredients

  1. Butter
  2. Water
  3. a tablespoonful of forcemeat

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Cook the cutlets in butter on one side only, and cool them under slight pressure.
  2. Garnish the cooked side of each with a tablespoonful of forcemeat with butter (No.
  3. 193), which should have received a copious addition of chopped truffles.
  4. Shape this forcemeat dome-fashion, by means of the flat of a small knife, dipped in tepid water, and set the cutlets, one by one, on a tray.
  5. Now put them in the front of the oven for seven or eight minutes that the forcemeat may be poached.
  6. Dish them in a circle, and pour a P^rigueux sauce in their midst.
