Ingredients 4 ingredients

  1. one-half lb. of minced onions
  2. one-third pint of cream
  3. one oz. of butter
  4. ten slices of truffle

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. Colour the chicken in butter, and complete its cooking under cover with one-half lb.
  2. of minced onions.
  3. Dish it in a flat, earthenware cocotte, setting a heap of mushrooms on either side of it;
  4. add one-third pint of cream to the onions;
  5. simmer for ten minutes;
  6. rub through tammy, and reduce.
  7. Finish this sauce with one oz.
  8. of butter, a little curry, and pour it over the chicken.
  9. Set ten slices of truffle on the latter.
