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

Ingredients 4 ingredients

  1. one quart of chicken consommé
  2. Forcemeat
  3. a tablespoonful of white chicken-meat
  4. Cut

Cook safely

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

  • 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. Prepare eighteen chicken-forcemeat quenelles, moulded by means of a small teaspoon;
  2. some should be stuffed with foie-gras purée, moistened with a little velouté;
  3. others with chicken purée;
  4. and yet others with truffle purée—in short, six of each kind.
  5. Place these, one by one, on a buttered sauté-pan;
  6. poach them, drain them, and put them in the soup-tureen with a tablespoonful of white chicken-meat, cut into dice.
  7. When about to serve, pour one quart of chicken consommé, thickened as above with tapioca, over the garnish.
