season, prepare some macaroni with cream, as above, combined with the peelings of raw, white truffles. Cut some very soft pig’s caul into triangles, proportionate in size to the cutlets; spread a little macaroni on each triangle; on the latter set a cutlet; cover the cutlets with some more macaroni, and enclose the whole in the caul. Lay the cutlets on a dish. Sprinkle with fine raspings and melted butter, and set to grill at the salamander, or in a fierce oven, for seven or eight minutes.

Dish the cutlets in the form of a crown; fix a frill to each, and surround them with mild capsicums and tomatoes, both of which should be sliced, tossed in butter, and mixed. 1316—CÔTELETTES A LA PROVENÇALE For ten cutlets:—(1) Reduce one-half pint of Béchamel sauce to a third, and add thereto the third
