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.

Method

  1. Poach the chicken-turbot in a sufficient quantity of previously-prepared court-bouillon with Chablis wine.
  2. For a fish weighing three lbs.
  3. (enough for ten people), prepare the following garnish:—Twenty small spoon-moulded quenelles of whiting forcemeat with crayfish butter;
  4. ten poached oysters (cleared of their beards);
  5. ten small mushroom-heads (very white);
  6. ten truffles in the shape of olives, and ten poached slices of milt.
  7. Drain the chicken-turbot just before dishing it, and slip it on to a dish.
  8. Surround it with the garnish detailed above, arranged in alternate heaps, and serve a Normande sauce, finished with two tablespoonfuls of truffle essence per pint, separately.
