Cut a slice of three pounds from a leg of veal; remove the sinews, and lard the surface with a medium-sized larding needle. Place it in a sautoire in which there are already pieces of pork-skin, one sliced onion, one sliced carrot, and a bouquet (No. 254). Season with a tablespoonful of salt, cover with a buttered paper, and let it color slightly for five minutes on the stove.' Then moisten with half a pint of white broth (No. 99), and cook one hour, basting it occasionally. Serve with half a pint of puree of sorrel (No. 974) on the dish, placing the veal on top.

All fricandeaus are prepared in the same way.
