  1. After the venison has been marinaded, place it in a large oval braizing-pan.
  2. Garnish with four carrots, four onions, four heads of celery, two garnished faggots of parsley, eight cloves, and four blades of mace.
  3. Moisten with a bottle of Madeira, and three large ladlefuls of good broth.
  4. Cover with a sheet of thick brown paper well buttered.
  5. Set it to boil, and then place the lid on with live embers of charcoal upon it, and put the pan on a moderate stove-fire to braize gently for seven hours.
  6. Moisten the larding of the venison frequently with its own liquor, by which means when the venison is done, it will be nicely glazed.
  7. It should now be taken up on to a baking sheet, and placed in the oven for a few minutes to dry the larding.
  8. Then glaze and dish it up.
  9. Pour a well-made Poivrade sauce (No. 29) under it.
  10. Garnish it round with quenelles of grouse, bread-crumbed and fried.
  11. At each end place groups of venison fry.
  12. Put a ruffle on the leg-bone, and send to table with sweet sauce, separately in a boat.
Original Text
taking care to turn it over twice a-day, and at the expiration of that time, the venison will be fit for dressing. After the venison has been marinaded, place it in a large oval braizing-pan, and garnish with four carrots, four onions, four heads of celery, two garnished faggots of parsley, &c., eight cloves, and four blades of mace; moisten with a bottle of Madeira, and three large ladlefuls of good broth; cover with a sheet of thick brown paper well buttered; set it to boil, and then place the lid on with live embers of charcoal upon it, and put the pan on a moderate stove-fire to braize gently for seven hours—moistening the larding of the venison fre- quently with its own liquor, by which means when the venison is done, it will be nicely glazed. It should now be taken up on to a baking sheet, and placed in the oven for a few minutes to dry the larding: then glaze and dish it up. Pour a well-made Poivrade sauce (No. 29) under it, garnish it round with quenelles of grouse, bread- crumbed and fried, and at each end place groups of venison fry; put a ruffle on the leg-bone, and send to table with sweet sauce, separately in a boat.
