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

Ingredients 4 ingredients

  1. one tablespoonful of plain-boiled rice
  2. one quart of consommé
  3. Cut
  4. one-quarter pint of raw tomato purée

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 one quart of consommé, to which add, while clarifying, one-quarter pint of raw tomato purée, in order to give it a faint, pink tinge.
  2. Also peel and press a small and rather firm tomato;
  3. cut into dice, and poach the latter in some of the consommé;
  4. put them in the soup-tureen with a small tablespoonful of mild capsicum, cut in fine julienne-fashion, and one tablespoonful of plain-boiled rice.
  5. When about to serve, pour the boiling consommé over the garnish, and add a small pinch of chervil pluches.
