562—Consommé Divette
Prepare two baba-moulds of royale made from crayfish velouté, eighteen small quenelles of smelt forcemeat, moulded to the shape of pearls, and one tablespoonful of small pearls of very black truffle.
Cut the royale into oval slices, and put these into the soup with the poached quenelles and the truffle pearls.
Pour one quart of very clear, boiling consommé over the garnish.
