Cooking, German
Preparation: The pheasants are cleaned, dressed and fried in oven for
20 minutes with ⅛ lb. of butter. The meat is then removed from the
bones and a good qt. of broth is made from the latter, seasoned with
Madeira, salt, lemon juice. The champignons are quartered and the
truffles sliced; liver, heart, gizzard chopped fine, the rolls, salt,
pepper, and yolk of egg stirred in. The onions are cooked a little in
the drippings and the whole mixture added and stewed a little while.
The whites of eggs are beaten and stirred into the mixture after it
has cooled. Now butter your dish and put in one-half of the giblet
filling as the bottom layer, then one layer of meat, then champignons
and truffles, and so on until all the meat, champignons and truffles
have been used. The broth is poured over the whole, the other half of
the giblet filling put on the top and it is now baked in the oven for
1¼ hours. Serve it in the dish or casserole.
No. 38—RED GROUSE AND GUINEA HEN.
Quantity for 6 Persons.
3 red grouse or 3 guinea hens
⅛ lb. of butter
Salt
½ pt. of cream
1½ tbsps. of flour
1 cupful of water
Bacon slices to tie across the breast
Preparation: The preparation is the same as No. 33, Pheasant. It also
requires 1 to 1½ hours for cooking.
Remarks: Grouse gets very tender when kept in buttermilk over night.
No. 39—GROUSE PIE.
Quantity for 14 Persons.
3 red grouse
Buttermilk
⅛ lb. of butter
Salt
Pie Filling.
¾ lb. beef with bones
¾ lb. lean pork
1 small can of truffles
1 pt. can champignons
5 soaked rolls
4 eggs
3 tbsps. of butter
Juice of ½ lemon
1 tsp. of grated onions
1 glass Madeira
Salt
1 pinch of pepper
Preparation: The grouse must be well hung; dress, salt and bake in hot
oven with ⅛ lb. of butter for one hour, basting frequently. If
buttermilk is to be obtained, put the grouse in buttermilk for 24
hours before baking. After frying, cut off the breasts and divide them
into ⅛ths. The other meat is cut from the bones and chopped fine, also
the beef and pork. The soaked rolls are sautéed or dry fried in 3
tablespoonfuls of butter and 4 eggs stirred into them. Now add grouse
meat, beef, pork, salt, pepper, juice of ½ lemon, 1 wineglassful of
Madeira, 1 teaspoonful of grated onion and mix well. The bones of the
birds and beef are put on the fire with the champignon and truffle
juice and boiled down to ½ qt. of broth, half of which is stirred into
the filling.
Butter your dish or casserole and after lining it with paste, put in a
layer of filling, then one of meat, strewing on some chopped
champignons and truffles. Pour in the other ½ of the broth, cover with
paste and bake in oven 1¼ hours to a nice brown color. Serve with a
Madeira gravy.
The paste is made by mixing lightly ¼ lb. of flour with ¼ lb. of cold
butter, ½ glassful of cold water and 1 teaspoonful of brandy, then
rolled out.
