  1. Roast
  2. Aspic
  3. Fillets

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.
  • 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. Roast the quails, keeping them juicy, and leave them to cool.
  2. This done, raise their fillets and skin these;
  3. then, with the remains of the meat and an equal quantity of foie gras, prepare a purée.
  4. Set each fillet of quail on a similarly-shaped slice of liver, causing it to adhere by means of the prepared purée, and coat with brown chaud-froid sauce.
  5. When the sauce has quite set, place these fillets in an even border-mould, clothed with very limpid aspic, and decorated with truffles.
  6. Fill up the mould with the same aspic jelly, and let the latter set.
  7. When about to serve, turn out on a napkin, after the manner of an aspic.
