shallots, finely chopped, brown a little, put in the sliced meat (the liver of hare may also be added if liked), season with salt, pepper, and aromatic spice, saute over the fire until of a nice brown, moisten with Madeira wine, and put in a basin to cool. Then pound in a mortar until smooth. Add the panade and the eggs one by one. Cut the truffles into slices, stamp out some fanciful shapes and keep for garnish, chop finely the trimmings, and mix with the farce. Rub the whole through a wire sieve, fill up a well-buttered border-mould, put in a saute or braising-pan containing boiling water, to reach half way up the mould. Cover with buttered paper and cook in a moderately heated oven for about 1 J hour. When done, stand on the ice till cool ; turn on to a cold dish. Mask over carefully with half- set aspic jelly, ornament the top of the border with truffle shapes and fancifully cut slices of hard-boiled white of egg. Coat the garnish with a little aspic, put a few sprigs of fresh parsley here and there, and serve. The remainder of the hare will be found very useful for hare soup, game sauce for stock, &c.
