Poached eggs, St. Laurent. Put four slices of smoked salmon on four pieces of toast, and set in oven for a minute, to warm the salmon. Then lay a poached egg on each piece, and cover with cream sauce.
Planked shad and roe. Split a shad and lay on a buttered plank, with the roe on the side. Season with salt and pepper and bits of butter, and put in a moderate oven. After fifteen minutes turn over the roe, and leave in the oven for another two minutes. Then take out and make a border around the fish with potato croquette preparation, and bake again until the border is brown. Serve with maître d’hôtel butter, and garnish with quartered lemons and parsley in branches.
Fillet of turbot, Nesles. Put four fillets of turbot in a buttered pan, season with salt and a little Cayenne pepper, add a cup of cream, and boil for twelve minutes. Then remove the fillets to a platter, add to the cream in the pan a cup of cream sauce, bring to the boiling point, then add two spoonfuls of grated cheese, and pour over the fish. Have the sauce well seasoned.
Fondante potatoes. Cut a quart of small potatoes to the size of pigeons’ eggs, put in a casserole and cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Then drain off the water and put the potatoes in a flat sauté pan with two ounces of butter, and simmer very slowly until they are golden yellow. Then add a spoonful of chicken broth and simmer again until nearly dry. Sprinkle with fresh-chopped parsley, season with salt and pepper.
Chicken sauté, chasseur. Joint a chicken, and season with salt and pepper. In a sauté pan put one ounce of butter and a spoonful of olive oil, heat, and then add the chicken. When the chicken is golden yellow add three chopped shallots, and simmer, but not enough to color the shallots. Then add one gill of white wine and boil for two minutes; add one peeled and chopped tomato and half of a can of French mushrooms, and boil for ten minutes more. Finally add half a dozen small onions glacé, and then dress the chicken on a platter. Season the sauce well, reduce one-half, add a little chopped parsley, and pour over the chicken.
Roast saddle of mutton. Secure the saddle from the butcher ready prepared for roasting. Put a sliced onion and carrot in a roasting pan, place the saddle on top, season well with salt and pepper, put a piece of butter on top, and place in hot oven. Bast frequently. It will require from thirty-five to forty-five minutes to roast, depending upon the thickness. When done, place the saddle on a platter, drain off the fat in the pan, add a half cup of stock and a spoonful of meat extract, and bring to a boil. Strain and pour over the saddle. Serve hot.
