Well pound eight middling-sized French preserved truffles, which
afterwards rub through a hair sieve with a wooden spoon, then put half
an onion, a small piece of carrot and turnip, cut into very thin
slices, into a stewpan with a piece of butter the size of a walnut, half
a bay-leaf, a sprig of parsley, and an ounce of lean uncooked ham; stir
them over the fire until quite tender; then add half a glass of wine and
the pounded truffles, with which mix half a teaspoonful of flour; then
add eight good tablespoonfuls of brown sauce (No. 1), boil it ten
minutes; then rub it through a tammie, put it into another stewpan, add
a little consommé (No. 134), boil it up, season with a little sugar, and
salt, if required, and use where directed.
