If there is too much drippings left, take some out, stir in the flour,
brown a few minutes, then add all the ingredients and cook well, pour
it over the steak, serve immediately.
No. 11—COLD GAME PIE.
Made From Deer, Doe, Boar or Rabbit Meat.
A good way to utilize the remnants of game roasts.
Quantity for 6 Persons.
2 lbs. fried or roasted game
¼ lb. of butter
Salt
1 pinch of pepper
2 soaked rolls
1 tsp. of grated onion
¼ lb. of truffles, sliced
4 eggs
¼ lb. finely chopped sardines
2 soaked rolls
Some butter for the dish
¼ lb. finely grated Parmesan cheese
Preparation: The meat is chopped or ground very fine. The butter is
melted—add to it the rolls, chopped sardines (from which the bones
have been removed) and onions, one whole egg and 3 yolks of eggs. This
mixture is stirred on the stove and left to stew until dry.
After cooling it off, add the chopped meat, salt and pepper. Press the
whole through a sieve so there will be no chunks or pieces. Into this
mass stir the truffle slices, the beaten whites of eggs, and the
Parmesan cheese.
Fill a buttered dish or casserole with this mixture, cover it, set it
in a steamer over a kettle of boiling water and boil 1½ hours. After
cooling, turn it out on a platter, garnish the platter with prepared
lettuce. This makes a fine dish for an evening dinner.
Remarks: This pie may also be served hot; then serve a game gravy or
herb gravy with it.
No. 12—GAME RAGOUT MADE FROM REMNANTS.
Quantity for 6 Persons.
1½ lbs. cold game remnants, either deer, doe, rabbit or wild boar meat
⅛ lb. of bacon
1 tbsp. of butter
2½ tbsps. of flour
1½ tbsps. of lemon juice
1 small onion
Salt
1 pinch of pepper
1 pt. bouillon, boiled from the bones
½ cup sour or sweet cream
2 vinegar or dill pickles, sliced
Preparation: The meat is cut from the bones in nice, equal pieces. The
bones are brought to boil in 2 qts. of cold water and boiled down to 1
pt. of broth or bouillon.
Cut the bacon into cubes and brown it in the butter, onion slices and
flour and add the bouillon. If you have left over game gravy, add that
too, season with salt, pepper, lemon juice and cream and cook slowly
for 20 minutes, then strain and cut the pickles into it. Put the meat
pieces into this gravy and let it get hot, but do not cook or the meat
will get tough. The gravy must be smooth. After heating, serve at once.
Remarks: If you wish to have the ragout very fine, omit the pickles
and take truffles or champignons instead.
