384. Darioles de Volaille en Chaudfroid. — Remove the fillets of a large fowl, taking off the skin and sinews ; broil them in a saute-pan with a little fresh butter, let them get cold, and cut them up finely. Pound the chicken meat in a mortar, together with about one-third its quantity of foie gras, add a little cream and the yolk of one egg, season with some aromatic spice, and pound until the whole is fine enough to pass through a fine sieve. Butter well six or eight dariole moulds, line them with the farce,, place a spoonful of chicken and ham salpicon mixed with minced truffles in the centre, fill up and cover with the remainder of the farce, and place them in a saute-pan two-thirds filled with boiling water. Cover with a buttered paper, and finish them in the oven ; they will take from fifteen to twenty minutes to cook. When done, turn out on a baking-sheet and set on the ice to cool. Mask them with a coating of butter, and dress on a round dish ; place one a little larger in the 494 EECHEKCHE COOKERY. centre and the others round. Ornament the darioles with thin strips and points of black truffles, and finish with a coating of aspic jelly, No. 225. Dish them on the shapes of bread. Keep cool until required ; an atelet of truffles and aspic placed in the centre will improve the dish. 385. Tomates a rAlgerienne. — 1 cooked fowl, small ; 1^ pint of aspic jelly, No. 225, 1 gill Veloute or bechamel sauce, No. 167, 1 glass sherry, 1^ gill tomato puree (concentrated), 1 gill cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg, pinch sugar, ^ oz. chicken glaze, 2 leaves gela- tine, 10 tomato-shaped moulds, spinach greening. Line the tomato moulds with aspic-jelly, put the tomato puree and 1 gill aspic in a stewpan, dissolve the French gelatine in the same, boil up, and reduce a little ; add a pinch of sugar, skim, pass through a fine sieve, and cool ; then line the moulds with a layer of this pre- paration. Remove the flesh from the claicken, free it from skin and gristle, pound in a mortar till fine. Boil up together the white sauce, one and a half gill aspic and sherry. Reduce to one-third part, add the chicken glaze, tammy, and mix with the pounded chicken. Season with pepper, salt, and a pinch of grated nutmeg. Whip the cream, and mix in. Fill the moulds with this pre- paration before it is completely set. Close the two halves of each mould firmly together (care should be taken that the marks of each part of the mould are opposite one another). Place on the ice long enough to set. The remainder of aspic should be tinted with a little spinach greening, and poured into a saute-pan to set. Cut out some leaf shapes, place them on a dish so arranged as to receive the tomatoes. Turn out the moulds, dish up, chop some aspic, and decorate. 386.
