Fonds d’artichauts à la barigoule :—Having drained six artichoke bottoms of a fair size, and scooped out their chokes, give them a dust of salt and pepper, put them on a clean dish, and prepare this farce :—four ounces of finely minced bacon, a quarter ounce of butter, and the same weight of flour, a coffee-cupful of broth, and one tablespoonful of very finely minced parsley, one tablespoonful of finely minced mushrooms, and one dessertspoonful of finely chopped blanched onion. Stir the mixture over the fire for five minutes, and then fill the hollows of the artichoke bottoms with it. Tie a very thin slice of bacon over each fond, and put them in a stew-pan with a breakfast-cupful good broth. Put the stew-pan into the oven, and bake for twenty minutes, ascertain if tender, then dish up and serve (Gouffé).
For this dish Audot recommends that the fonds be placed upon lean slices of veal or pork, which should be laid at the bottom of a braising-pan; that the gravy should be poured in, and that the process should be that of braising.
