Macaroni with. Sweetbreads. — Put two blanched cold sweet- breads into a saucepan with a little butter, and add to this 1 breakfast-cupful of ham cut in small pieces. Place the pan over the lire, fry for a few minutes, add gravy and Madeira to about three-parts the height of the meat, the trimmings of two or three trullles, and reduce the liquor to half its original quantity. When the sweetbreads are done, take them out, drain, cut them in small slices, and mix with a few small slices of hot lean ham. Add to the stock a few table-spoonfuls of brown sauce, boil up, and strain through a sieve into another saucepan. Put in two or three truffles cut in slices, boil for five minutes longer, and pour it over the sweetbreads. Whilst this is going on, put Mb- of Macaroni, broken into 2in. lengths, in a sauce- pan of boiling salted water, cover the pan, and boil until the pipes are quite tender ; take out, drain, and put them into a stewpan with a few table-spoonfuls of melted glaze, a little of the liquid from the stew, and a small lump of butter. Simmer over a moderate lire for ten minutes, when they should be light brown ; add 3 or 4 teacupfuls of grated Parmesan cheese, pour it all into a deep dish in which the sweetbreads have already been laid, and serve very hot.
