Have ready some neat slices of underdone veal, spread each with a layer of the farce, and roll them up.
Wrap each roll first in a slice of fat bacon, and then in a sheet of well oiled paper.
Fry them for about eight minutes.
Serve in the cases garnished with fried parsley.
Be careful to twist up the paper cases pretty tightly.

Another form

On half of this lay a slice of fairly fat bacon, next a layer of either d'Uxelles mixture, or simply fine minced shallot or onion and parsley, and on this a slice of any underdone meat (beef or mutton is excellent thus).
Add more seasoning, and lastly another slice of bacon.
Twist the halves of the paper tightly together to prevent the contents escaping.
Broil it, or bake it in the oven, till the paper puffs out and begins to brown, when it is served at once in the paper cases.
If preferred a spoonful of thick tomato purée may be used instead of the seasoning.
The meat may be of any kind, but vary the seasoning and the name accordingly.

Cutlets in Cases.—Prepare a farce by mixing together half a teacupful of finely grated breadcrumbs, a large tablespoonful of very finely minced fat bacon, a chopped shallot, a little minced parsley, salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste, binding the whole with the well beaten yolks of two eggs; have ready some neat slices of underdone veal, spread each with a layer of the farce, and roll them up, wrapping each first in a slice of fat bacon, and then in a sheet of well oiled paper, fry them then for about eight minutes, and serve in the cases garnished with fried parsley.

Another form of these cases is to have ready a sheet of oiled paper; on half of this lay a slice of fairly fat bacon, next a layer of either d'Uxelles mixture, or simply fine minced shallot or onion and parsley, and on this a slice of any underdone meat (beef or mutton is excellent thus), then more seasoning, and lastly another slice of bacon; twist the halves of the paper tightly together to prevent the contents escaping, and broil it, or bake it in the oven, till the paper puffs out and begins to brown, when it is served at once in the paper cases. If preferred a spoonful of thick tomato purée may be used instead of the seasoning. Needless to say the meat may be of any kind, but vary the seasoning and the name accordingly.
