36. ATELETS SAUCE.
CUT two ounces of raw lean of ham into very small mince-meat; put it into a small stewpan with half a bay-leaf, a sprig of thyme, one shalot minced, a little nutmeg, and minionette pepper; moisten with a few spoonfuls of consommé, and set the whole to simmer on the fire for ten minutes; after which, add a small ladleful of white sauce, and having reduced it to a proper consistency, mix in a leason of six yolks of eggs, and a pat of butter; finish with a little lemon-juice, and pass the sauce through a tammy into a basin.
This sauce is used for covering all preparations for those entrées denominated à la Villeroi, or à la Dauphine, previously to their being dipped in the beaten egg for the purpose of being bread-crumbed.
