687 | Lamb Chops à la Masséna.
—Trim neatly, flatten, and season with half a pinch each of salt and pepper, six lamb chops. Put them into a sautoire with one ounce of butter, and fry on one side only for one minute. Let them cool, and then fill the cooked centres with a little pâté-de-foie-gras. Take six pieces of fried bread the size of the chop, cut out the middles with a bread-cutter, fill in the space with pâté-de-foie-gras, and lay it on the cooked side of the chops. Garnish all around with chicken forcemeat à la crême (No. 225), forced through a paper cornet. Place them on a buttered baking-sheet, and put them into a slow oven. Cook for seven minutes. Prepare a pint of hot Madeira sauce (No. 185), pour it on a hot dish, arrange the chops nicely on top, with curled papers on the ends, and serve.
