Olives à la St. Augustin
Olives à la St. Augustin.—Turn some olives, and
with a bag and small pipe fill them with pâté de foie
gras previously sieved; stand each olive in a little
bouche mould (quarter of an inch deep), and fill the
mould with just liquid aspic, garnishing each with a
little chervil. When firm turn out and set each on a
square croûte thickly spread with ham butter. This
dish can be varied to taste; for instance, if the
olives are stuffed with a fillet of anchovy, or a little
anchovy butter, and placed, when set, on croûtes
piled with shrimp or prawn butter, they become
Olives à la Normande. Or, the olives may be stuffed
with rich mayonnaise or tartare sauce, and the
croûtons spread with lobster seasoned with oil and
vinegar, and mixed with just liquid aspic, the
whole being spread on the croûtes before it is
actually set, and served as Croûtes de Homard à la
