“A la Hugo,” in dariole moulds.
Take a quite fresh ox kidney. Remove all fat and skin, and cut it up small; then pound it in a mortar. Pass it though a hair sieve. Season with pepper and salt. Whisk into it ½ pt. of thick cream and 1 egg. Butter some moulds, and lay a thin slice of truffle at the bottom of each mould. Fill each mould with the mixture, and steam slowly ½ hour. Glaze them after turning them out, and serve in half-glaze sauce.
