822. PAUPITTIES OF OX-PALATES A LA FINANCIERE.
Braize and cut up the ox-palates as in the foregoing case; then trim the twenty-four pieces thus produced into oblong scallops, measuring about two inches by three and a half; lay these on an earthen dish, and spread upon each a thin layer of quenelle forcemeat of veal or poultry, in which some fine-herbs have been mixed. The ox-palates should then be rolled firmly in the form of cartridges, and six of these, disposed lengthwise in a buttered sheet of writing paper, must be rolled up tightly in it, and placed in a deep sautapan; the remainder are to be finished in the same manner, and kept in the cool until wanted. Half an hour before dinner-time set the paupiettes on a stove-fire, at the same time adding to them about a quart of boiling broth or consommé; as soon as they begin to boil, put the lid on, and set them to simmer gently by the side of the stove for twenty minutes. The paupiettes must be drained on a napkin, the ends of each neatly cut off, then placed in a sautapan with a little half glaze, and again set on the fire to be boiled in this as it boils down; after, they should be dished up in a pyramidal, or a conical form, and a Financière ragout (No. 188) poured over the entrée, and sent to table.
