Cut up six pieces of lean veal about a quarter of an inch thick, and of the length of the hand. Flatten them, and season with one pinch of salt and half a pinch of pepper. Lard the centres, using a small larding needle, with strips of larding-pork. Lay any kind of forcemeat at hand on them, roll well, and tie with a string. Put them into a deep sautoire with a very little fat, one sliced carrot, and one medium-sized, sliced onion. Cover the whole with a piece of buttered paper ; set it on the fire, and let it take a good golden color for about five minutes. Moisten with half a pint of white broth (No. 99), then put the saucepan in the oven, and cook slowly for twenty minutes, basting it occasionally, and serve.

Brisotins are all prepared the same way, adding different garnishings.
