  1. one quart of boiling chicken consommé

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. With some pâte à choux (No.
  2. 2374) prepare eighteen profiterolles of the size of hazel-nuts.
  3. Cook them, taking care to keep them very crisp, and stuff them when cold with purée de foie gras moistened with velouté.
  4. Put two tablespoonfuls of a fine julienne of mild capsicum into the soup-tureen, and pour thereon one quart of boiling chicken consommé, moderately thickened with poached tapioca strained through linen.
  5. Serve the profiterolles of foie gras separately, after having heated them in the front of the oven.
  6. N.B.—The garnish of Consommé à l’Infante may consist only of the profiterolles, and the julienne of capsicum may be suppressed;
  7. this is a matter of taste.
