the quenelle, and place the latter upon a buttered sautépan. Repeat the operation until the required number of quenelles have been moulded. Treated in this way, the quenelles, when poached, contain, so to speak, a liquid core. Five minutes before dishing up, poach the quenelles. 2. Cut six rectangles out of lettuce leaves; spread a thin layer of forcemeat over each; roll into _paupiettes_, and poach in some of the consommé. 3. Prepare two tablespoonfuls of a coarse _julienne_ of carrots and turnips, stew them in butter, and complete their cooking in the consommé, which should be thoroughly cleared of grease. Put the _julienne_, the _paupiettes_, and the stuffed quenelles into the soup-tureen; pour therein the boiling beef consommé, and add a pinch of chervil _pluches_. 608—CONSOMMÉ ROSSINI Prepare one quart of chicken consommé, slightly thickened with two tablespoonfuls of poached tapioca strained through linen. Make eighteen _profiterolles_, from _pâte à choux_ without sugar (No. 2374), to the size of hazel-nuts.

Make two _dariole-moulds_ of royale from a preparation consisting of one-third of the whole of purée of pheasant, one-third of chestnut purée, and one-third of pheasant _salmis_ sauce. Poach the royale; cut it into grooved roundels, and place these in the soup-tureen with one tablespoonful of a _julienne_ of fillets of pheasant. When about to serve, pour the boiling consommé over the garnish. 610—CONSOMMÉ SAINT HUBERT Take one quart of game consommé, prepared with venison _fumet_.
