Ris de Veau h la St. Michel (Cold).
(Sweetbread, St. Michel Style.)
2 heart sweetbreads, i terrine foie gras (size No. 10),
2 truffles, mirepoix, etc., 8 cooked artichoke bottoms,
blonde chaudfroid sauce, macedoine of vegetables, may-
onnaise, aspic, and seasoning.
Blanch the sweetbreads, trim and pare them, and press
them in the usual way. Insert some strips of bacon, and
braise them with a mirepoix, etc. When done let cool,
and cut each in two lengthwise. Stamp out as many
rounds of sweetbread as there are artichoke bottoms, and
as near as possible to the size of the latter. Incorporate
the essence of sweetbread with the chaudfroid sauce, and
mask the rounds of sweetbread with the sauce, as it cools.
Stamp out some round slices of foie gras somewhat
smaller than the sweetbread, place these in the centre of
the latter, and coat them also with chaudfroid sauce.
Trim the artichoke bottoms, season them with aspic
flavoured with lemon juice, place the sweetbreads on
these, stamp out star-shaped slices of truffle and put one
on each of the slices of foie gras. Mask the whole well
with half-set aspic and dish up in a circle on a round
dish. Season the macedoine of vegetables with a little
mayonnaise✪ Ris de Veau à la St. Michel and aspic and arrange in the shape of a
dome in the centre of the dish. Garnish suitably and
serve.

Ris de Veau a la ChevaliSre.
(Braised Sweetbread, Chevaliere Style.)
Blanch and trim a pair of sweetbreads, press them, and
then lard with strips of fat bacon, tongue and truffles ;
arrange these in alternate rows.
Place them on a mirepoix (bacon, carrot, onion, bou
quet garni, etc.), moisten with a glass of Madeira wine
and white stock✪ Ris de Veau à la Chevalière. Braise the sweetbreads in this manner,
taking care that the surface does not take colour, i.e.,
get brown. When done, cut each slantways into 4 or 5
slices, replace to original shape and dress on fried bread
croiitons. Garnish the dish with preserved mushroom
heads (champignons), small glazed truffles, and cocks'
combs, fill the centre of the dish with a delicate ragout of
small chicken quenelles, and sauce over the sweetbreads
with a well prepared supreme sauce. To improve the
dish further, 2 or 3 silver skewers, each replete with
a very small tomato, truffle, and champignons, should
be inserted into the sweetbreads.
