10. SALMIS SAUCE.
Place the trimmings of the birds of which the salmis is to be
made, in a stewpan with a tablespoonful of salad-oil, four shalots
one bay-leaf, and a sprig of thyme; pass these on the stove fire for
five minutes; add two glasses of any sort of good white wine; reduce
this to half its quantity, add a ladleful of Espagnole and some mush-
room trimmings or essence; set the sauce to boil, and then put it
by the side of the stove to clarify. Having well skimmed it, pass the
sauce through a tammy into a bain-marie, pouring a small portion
of the sauce on the members of the birds to keep them moist, and
to warm them in.
