Fillets of Rabbit with Cucumber Sauce.
Cut two cucumbers into thin slices and soak them in vinegar, with pepper, salt, and a bayleaf, for two hours, then half roast the rabbit, take the skin off, and fillet it. Make a sauce of white stock, and put the pieces of rabbit into it with the cucumber until it is quite done. Arrange the pieces of rabbit[Pg 62] in a circle, put the cucumber in the middle, and pour the sauce over the fillets. Fried sippets should garnish this dish.
