Ingredients:
Cold fowl, game, or sweetbread, butter, lard, flour, Parmesan, truffles,
macaroni, onions, cream.
Preparation:
Make a light paste of two
ounces of butter, two of lard, and half a pound of flour, and put it in
the larder for two hours.
In the meantime boil a little
macaroni and let it get cold, then line a plain mould with the paste, and
fill it with bits of cut-up fowl, or game, or sweetbread, bits of truffle
cut in small dice, grated Parmesan, and a little chopped onion.
Put these ingredients in
alternately, and after each layer add enough cream to moisten.
Fill the mould quite full,
then roll out a thin paste for the top and press it well together at the
edges to keep the cream from boiling out.Bake it in a moderate oven for
an hour and a half, turn it out of the mould, and serve with a rich brown
sauce.
Decorate the top with bits
of red tongue and truffles cut into shapes or with a little chopped pistacchio
nut.
