Cooking, German
Preparation: The butter is heated, the flour stirred in, also the
cream, wine and lemon juice and boiled. This gravy should be thick; if
too thick, add more cream or milk, salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese,
then boil one minute. Cut the fish into small pieces and put into the
gravy. Butter the shells or molds and fill with this mixture, strew
the bread crumbs on and bake in the oven about 10 minutes, to a light
yellow color. Serve immediately after taking out of the oven.
Remarks: This dish may be served as a fine side dish together with
head lettuce.

added. After this mixture has cooled off, small croquettes are formed
which are dipped into the white of egg and flour or bread crumbs. Heat

more flour.
