  2. In the meantime, separately boil the vegetables.
  3. Take out the pieces of eel, and keep them hot.
  4. Pass the liquor which forms the sauce through a sieve, and add the vegetables to this.
  5. Let the vegetables boil a little longer in the liquor, then arrange them in a dish.
  6. Place the pieces of eel on the vegetables and cover with the liquor. Serve very hot.
