France. Associated with France by the book is about French cookery (Cooking, French); the recipe itself names no place (confidence 0.4). "Associated with" means only that the evidence named here links this recipe to that place. A recipe isn't labelled as representing an entire country because a source associates it with one, and regional origins are kept where the source gives them.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Cook the cutlets in butter on one side only, and cool them under slight pressure.
  2. Garnish the cooked side of each with a tablespoonful of forcemeat with butter (No.
  3. 193), which should have received a copious addition of chopped truffles.
  4. Shape this forcemeat dome-fashion, by means of the flat of a small knife, dipped in tepid water, and set the cutlets, one by one, on a tray.
  5. Now put them in the front of the oven for seven or eight minutes that the forcemeat may be poached.
  6. Dish them in a circle, and pour a Périgueux sauce in their midst.
