Ingredients
Method
- Chop and pound fine in a mortar a pound of chicken from which you have removed all skin and sinews;
- also chop fine about ten mushrooms, which mix with your chicken, and add half a pint of Allemande sauce (Art.
- 81) rather thick, to which you have added the yolks of three eggs, mixed in two tablespoonfuls of water or milk.
- Put your mixture on the ice until perfectly cold, then form it into croquettes, which roll in bread-crumbs.
- Beat up three eggs, with which cover your croquettes;
- again roll in bread-crumbs.
- Put some lard in a frying-pan in which, when very hot, fry your croquettes, and, when a bright yellow color, drain, and serve with fried parsley on top.
- You may add to your mixture, before forming into croquettes, some chopped truffles or chopped parsley.
