Ingredients: Sucking
pig, forcemeat of fowl, bacon, truffles, pistacchio nuts, ham, lemon, veal,
bay leaves, salt, carrots, onions, shallots, parsley, stock, Chablis, gravy.
Preparation:
Bone a sucking pig all except
its feet, but be careful not to cut the skin on its back. Lay it out on
a napkin and line it inside with a forcemeat of fowl and veal about an
inch thick, over this put a layer of bits of marinated bacon, slices of
truffle, pistacchio nuts, cooked ham, and some of the flesh of the pig,
then another layer of forcemeat until the pig's skin is fairly filled.
Keep its shape by sewing
it lightly together, then rub it all over with lemon juice and cover it
with slices of fat bacon, roll it up and stitch it in a pudding cloth.
Then put the bones and cuttings
into a stewpan with bits of bacon and veal steak cut up, two bay leaves,
salt, a carrot, an onion, a shallot, and a bunch of parsley. Into this
put the pig with a bottle of white wine and sufficient stock to cover it,
and cook on a slow fire for three hours.
Then take it out, and when
cold take off the pudding-cloth. Pass the liquor through a hair sieve,
and, if necessary, add some stock; reduce and clarify it. Decorate the
dish with this jelly and serve cold.
