913—Timbale de Filets de Soles Marquise
For a timbale large enough for ten people, prepare:—
1. An even or fluted timbale crust.
2. A garnish consisting of twelve rolled or folded fillets of sole poached in fish fumet, twelve poached oysters (cleared of their beards), twenty-four small quenelles of salmon, and twenty slices of truffle.
Heat this garnish after having added a few drops of fish fumet to it, and then thicken it with one-half pint of white-wine sauce prepared with paprika.
Put the above garnish into the timbale, which should be very hot; set the latter on a folded napkin, and serve at once.
