Tolstoi Soufflés
Petits Soufflés à la Tolstoi (Savoury)
Take one pint of hot rich brown gravy and dissolve in it a teaspoonful of Liebig Company's extract of meat and half an ounce of Marshall's Finest Leaf Gelatine; add to it a quarter of a pint of sherry, two tablespoonfuls of Worcestershire sauce, a teaspoonful of French mustard, and a good dust of Marshall's Coralline Pepper. Take the meat from a cooked lobster, and pound it with six boned anchovies and six raw sauce oysters with their liquor; then add the purée to the other ingredients and rub all through a fine hair sieve. When it is beginning to cool mix with it a quarter-pint of very stiffly-whipped cream, stir together carefully, then put the mixture into a forcing bag with a plain pipe, and with it fill some little china or paper cases paper standing two inches above the rims of the cases; put them in the charged ice cave for one hour; then take up, remove the paper bands, and by means of a forcing bag with a large rose pipe garnish the tops with savoury cream prepared as below, and sprinkle the top of the cream with a little finely-chopped raw green parsley and Coralline Pepper. Serve for a savoury or second-course dish, or for ball supper &c.
