TIMBALES. 91 the veal in the sautie pan and leave all to cook for twenty minutes very slowly turning the meat and the saucepan constantly while cooking, to prevent the meat discoloring. Prepare now in a bowl the yolks of egg and cream, season this with the pepper and salt, when the veal should be taken from the saucepan and arranged upon a flat dish, and the cream and egg stirred into the saucepan with the sauce. The contentis of the saucepan must not be allowed to boil after the yolks of egg are added but as soon as the sauce thickens with them by simmering slowly, it must be poured over the veal.
