A guide to modern cookery

and mix therewith three tablespoonfuls of melted, white meat-glaze and a few drops of lemon juice. Strain this sauce through muslin, and pour it over the pieces of lobster. 946—HOMARD GRILLÉ For this purpose, the lobster may be taken raw, but it is better, first, to have it three-parts cooked in _court-bouillon_. Now split it into two lengthwise; sprinkle it with melted butter, and set it on the grill for its cooking to be completed. Treated thus, the meat of the lobster does not harden as when it is grilled raw. Dish the grilled lobster on a napkin or on a drainer, after having broken the shell of the claws in order to facilitate the withdrawal of the meat, and surround with curled-leaf parsley. Serve a “Devilled sauce Escoffier,” or any other sauce suited to grilled fish, with the lobster, but remember that the first-named sauce is the fittest that could be found for this particular dish. 947—HOMARD A LA MORNAY, otherwise AU GRATIN Proceed in all points as directed under “Homard Cardinal” (No. 943), but substitute Mornay sauce for Cardinal. =Homard à la New-burg= This dish may be prepared in two ways—with raw lobster and with the latter cooked some time beforehand. The second way is the more correct, but the first, which is less troublesome to prepare, is more suited to the work of large establishments. 948—HOMARD A LA NEW-BURG (with raw lobster) Cut up the live lobster, and fry it in oil and butter as explained under “Homard à l’Américaine.” When the pieces of lobster are stiffened and coloured, clear them of all grease; swill the sautépan with one tablespoonful of burnt brandy and one-half pint of Marsala. Reduce by a third; season, and add two-thirds pint of cream and one-sixth pint of fish _fumet_. Cover and set to cook for fifteen minutes. Take out the pieces of lobster; withdraw the meat therefrom, and keep it hot in a covered timbale. Thicken the sauce with the reserved intestines and coral of the lobster, which should be chopped in combination with one oz. of butter. Set to boil
