Ingredients:
Veal forcemeat, truffles, sweetbread, mushrooms, herbs, flour, Pasta
Marinate, tongue, butter.
Preparation:
- Make a mixture of truffles,
tongue, sweetbread, mushrooms, and herbs, all chopped up, and add it to
a forcemeat of veal, the proportions being two-thirds veal forcemeat and
the other ingredients one third. Mix this well and form it into little
balls about the size of a pigeon's egg, flour them and mask them all over
with Pasta
Marinate.
- Fry them in butter over a slow fire, so that the balls may
be well cooked through, and when they are the right colour dry them in
a napkin and serve very hot.
NOTE: These bodini may be made
with various ingredients; they will be most delicate with a forcemeat of
fowl and bits of brain mixed with
herbs, truffle, cooked ham,
or tongue. They are also excellent made with fish (sole, mullet, turbot,
etc.), either cooked or raw, and marinated in lemon, salt, pepper, oil,
nutmeg, and parsley.
