1904—Cailles glacées Cerisette
Prepare the quails
as for an entrée and poach them for 12 minutes in a strong veal
stock, with Champagne. This done, put them each into a small,
oval mould; fill up these moulds with cooking-liquor, cleared of all
grease and strained, and leave them to set on ice.
This preliminary procedure applies to all quail dishes in this series.
Now prepare a Granité with cherry juice (see No. 2930, Granités).
Set this Granité in a pyramid on a dish incrusted in ice. Turn out the quails and place them round the Granité; fill up the gaps between them with small heaps of stoned cherries, poached in syrup for a few minutes and quite cold.
