Alva Salmon Soufflés (Savoury)
Petits Soufflés de Saumon à l’Alva (Savoury)
Surround some little paper or china soufflé cases with bands of foolscap paper, so that they stand two inches above the rims of the cases; fill them up with the mixture prepared as below, put them in the charged ice cave, and when set, remove the paper bands, garnish the top of each soufflé with a purée of green peas prepared as below, using a forcing bag and large rose pipe for the purpose, and garnish round the edge of the peas with a little finely-chopped aspic jelly (see recipe); dish them up on a paper as shown in engraving, and arrange between each soufflé some hard-boiled white and yolk of egg that have been rubbed separately through a wire sieve. Serve for a second-course dish or for ball supper, &c.
