Woodcock à la Provençale.
Fillet a brace of woodcock, soak them in salad oil seasoned with black pepper, some cloves, and a pounded head of garlic. Place the bones on a stewpan with some salad oil, six shalots, a head of garlic, a bayleaf, and a bouquet garni. When brown, add a dessert-spoonful of flour, a tumblerful of Chablis, and a pint of stock. Reduce to half the quantity, and pass through a tammy. Sauté the fillets in warm oil; when done, place them in a circle on an entrée dish with a fried bread sippet between each, stir a little lemon juice into the sauce, and pour over the fillets.
