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

Ingredients 4 ingredients

  1. Forcemeat
  2. Cut
  3. one quart of chicken consommé
  4. two tablespoonfuls of very green peas

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 three dariole-moulds of mousseline forcemeat of fowl (No.
  2. 195), and put it to poach in a small Charlotte mould.
  3. When quite cold, cut it, by means of a cutter, into roundels the size of a penny, and put these in the soup-tureen with six small blanched cocks’ combs and three sliced cocks’ kidneys, and two tablespoonfuls of very green peas.
  4. Pour over this garnish one quart of chicken consommé, thickened with three tablespoonfuls of poached tapioca strained through linen.
