1045—Filet de Bœuf Bouquetiere
Having larded the fillet and No. 250, Poëlings or roasted it, set it on a long dish and surround it with:—(1) Small heaps of carrots and turnips, turned by means of a small grooved spoon, and cooked in consommé; (2) small heaps of little potatoes turned to the shape of olives and cooked in butter; (3) small heaps of peas and of French beans, cut into lozenges and cohered with butter; (4) five bunches of cauliflower.
Arrange these different products in such wise as to vary their colours and throw them into relief.
Serve the gravy of the fillet separately, after having cleared it of all grease and strained it.
