Calf's Brains in Cases au Gratin. — The brains after being cleansed, boiled, and cut into small collops, must be added to some well-seasoned allemande, bechamel, ravigotte, or maitre d'hotel sauce, previously made hot ; mix them gently in this, and with the preparation fill some paper cases, strew fried breadcrumbs upon the tops ; push in the oven for a few minutes ; dish up the cases on a napkin with fried parsley
Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
