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

Ingredients 4 ingredients

  1. one quart of boiling
  2. Cut
  3. Sweetbread
  4. two tablespoonfuls of very green asparagus-heads

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. With an even cutter, the size of a penny, cut up some braised and cooled sweetbread into twelve roundels one-third inch thick;
  2. with the same cutter cut out twelve more roundels from some cooked artichoke-bottoms, and put the whole into the soup-tureen with two tablespoonfuls of very green asparagus-heads.
  3. When about to serve, pour one quart of boiling, highly seasoned, ordinary consommé upon the garnish.
