883—Filets de Soles Mignonette
Cook the fillets in butter, and set them in a hot timbale.
Surround them with potato-balls the size of peas, raised by means of the round spoon-cutter, and cooked beforehand in butter.
Lay upon the fillets eight or ten slices of fresh truffle heated in one-sixth pint of very light meat-glaze.
Finish the glaze in which the slices of truffle have been heated with two-thirds oz. of butter and a few drops of lemon juice, and pour it over the fillets and their garnish. Serve very hot.
