Ingredients 3 ingredients

  2. three oz. of good sausage-meat

  • 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.

  2. of green maize, three-parts cooked, and combined with one chopped onion cooked in butter and three oz.
  3. of good sausage-meat, fried in butter for one moment with the onion.
  4. Braise the pullet, and glaze it at the last minute.
  5. Serve separately and at the same time a timbale of maize with cream.
