salt. Have ready little cases of fried bread (or paper, if preferred) ; fill with the mixture. Arrange on a dish, and serve with tomato sauce. Grouse, Salmi of (an English recipe). — Cut the meat from a pair of roasted grouse in neat fillets ; re- move the skin and gristle. Fry a slice of lean ham in a table-spoonful of butter, with a small, sliced carrot, a piece of onion, a bay-leaf, a sprig of thyme and parsley each, six whole cloves, a bit of mace, and four all- spice. When the meat is brown add a spoonful of brown sauce, a gill of veal stock, and a squeeze of lemon- juice with the bones and scraps of the birds ; let simmer half an hour, take up, strain, return to the sauce- pan with the grouse fillets, and set over the fire to heat. Serve with fried croutons. Partridges, Broiled. — Prepare the partridges as if for roasting ; cut off their heads, split them entirely up the back, and flatten the breastbones. Wipe them thoroughly inside and out Partridge Cutlets GAME Pigeons, Vol-au-vent of with a damp cloth, season with salt and pepper, and broil over a gentle fire. As soon as they are done enough rub them quickly over with butter, and send them to table on a hot dish with brown gravy or mushroom sauce in a tureen. Time, fifteen minutes to broil the partridges. Partridge Cutlets. — Take half a dozen plump birds, split down the back, and take out the breastbone ; cut off the wings, divide each bird in two, trim off the edges, and shape like a cutlet. Season with salt and pepper, drop in a frying-pan of hot butter for two minutes, take up, put in a baking-pan, and set in a hot oven for six or eight minutes. Let cool, dip each cutlet in melted aspic- jelly, and set on ice. Roll first in grated cracker, and dip in beaten egg, then in the cracker again ; fry in butter until brown and crisp. Take up on a heated dish and serve with brown sauce and currant - jelly. Wild pigeons, grouse, and other birds may be served in this style. Partridge, Fricassee of. — Cut four partridges in two ; put I oz. of butter in a frying-pan set over the fire ; when hot, put in the birds and let fry brown ; add a cupful of boiling water, season with pepper and salt, and let simmer for twenty minutes ; squeeze in the juice of half a lemon. Take the pieces up on a heated dish, thicken the gravy with a little brown flour, and pour over. Partridges, Stewed (a Creole reci- pe).— Stuff the birds with delicately seasoned force-meat, and lard the breasts with small strips of fat ba- con ; dust with salt and pepper. Put two slices of lean, raw ham in the bottom of a saucepan, with a sliced carrot, a chopped onion, a bunch of sweet herbs, and a pint of stock ; lay the birds on top, and set over a mod- erate fire to stew gently for an hour ; then take up, strain the gravy, and rub the vegetables through a sieve ; return to the saucepan, and set over • the fire for ten minutes; crisp the lardons with a salamander; take up the birds on a heated dish, pour the gravy over, and garnish with small croutons of fried bread. Partridge or Pheasant, Souffle of. — Clean and cook two birds ; take off the breasts and other good parts of the flesh, without skin or gristle. Take 3 ozs. of boiled rice and mix in a mortar with a table-spoonful of butter, two of glaze, melted, and a little salt and pepper. Pound all together until a smooth mixture ; add the beaten yolks of four eggs and the whites of two. Pour the mixture into a souffle-case, set in a very hot oven to bake until light, and serve immediately with brown sauce.
