751. BLACK GAME, A LA NORWEGIENNE.
TRUSS these as for roasting, lard the breasts closely with well-fur-nished repères of larding; set them to braize in an oval stewpan, moistened with a mirepoix (No. 236) made with two parts of good stock and one third of French vinegar; baste the birds frequently while they are being braized, when done, set them upon a baking-sheet in the oven for two minutes to dry the larding, then glaze and dish them up; garnish with a border of stewed red cabbage dressed in the same way as French sauer-kraut (No. 165), and round this place a border of small sausages prepared as follows:—
Chop one pound of calf's liver with ten ounces of fat bacon and six ounces of brown bread-crumbs, season with black pepper, salt, grated nutmeg, and lemon-peel, some parsley, thyme, one bay-leaf, and some sweet-basil, all chopped fine; add the yolks of three eggs, mix the whole thoroughly, and then form this preparation into small flat, round, or oval sausages, which must be wrapped up in pig's caul; fry these of a brown colour, and use them as directed above.
Sauce these remove with a Poivrade (No. 29), mixed with half the liquor in which the birds have been braized, previously cleared of all grease and boiled down to half-glaze; glaze the larding, and serve.
In addition to the foregoing methods of dressing black game, they may also be served à la Soubise, à la Périgueux, à la Financière, with a purée of celery, Richelieu sauce, braized cabbages, and à la Dauphinoise; for the preparation of which, see those articles.
