2256—Pilaff Rice (for the Stuffing of Fowls)
Pilaff rice is frequently used in stuffing fowls.
For this purpose, when it is cooked, it is combined (per quart) with a little cream, four oz. of foie-gras dice, and as much truffle, also in dice. The rice should only be three-parts cooked for stuffings; for it completes its cooking inside the bird. For this reason the cream is added, that the rice may absorb it while its cooking is being completed.
