Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • 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. Bake the snipe in a hot oven during only 12 minutes.
  2. Cut it in 5 or 6 pieces and keep them in a warm place during 2 minutes.
  3. During this time, drop grease of cooking and deglaze with a glassful Champagne, crush the intestines, hash the carcass, press it in order to extract the blood which is mixed to the crushed intestines.
  4. With this well seasoned mixture, nap the pieces of snipe, pour on all a fillet of Fine Champagne and flame.
  5. Serve immediately.
