Tails well brazed may be dressed different Ways. You may broil them and serve them with a sharp Sauce in a Boat; also as a Tureen with all Sorts of Herbs and Roots, such as Cucumbers, Chesnuts, Truffles, Turnips, Onions, Carrots, or with Sweet-breads, Coxcombs, etc. or as part of a Hochpot with any other kind of Meat.
(See Sauces, p. 41.)
Fry three or four sliced Onions in Butter till they are almost done; boil the Tripe in Water very tender, and cut it in Pieces, which mix with the Onions, adding a little Cullis, a Glass of white Wine, as much Broth, a Faggot of Parsley, Chibol, a Laurel Leaf, two Cloves, three or four Taragon Leaves, Pepper and Salt; boil on a slow Fire, skim it well, reduce the Sauce pretty thick, and add a little Mustard when ready to serve.
Boil the Tripe very tender; make a Marinade with Oil, Pepper, Salt, Parsley, and Shollots chopped very fine; soak the Tripe some Time in this, then roll it in Bread Crumbs, and broil it of a good Colour; serve with a Sauce, half Cullis and half Verjuice.-(See Sauces, p. 37.)
Tripes boiled very tender may be cut in different Forms, and dressed with Mushrooms, Parsley, Shallots, a Clove of Garlick, a few Taragon Leaves, two Cloves, a Slice of Ham, a Bit of Butter, Thyme and Laurel; let it catch a little, then add a Glass of white Wine and as much Broth; reduce the Sauce, and make aLiaison with three Yolks of Eggs, Pepper and Salt, Verjuice or Lemon. If you would make it brown, instead of a Liaison add Cullis and Gravy, a small Quantity of scalded Parsley, chopped very fine, or any other sweet Herbs.
Fry sliced Onions in Butter to half; cut the Kidney into small Pieces, and put it to the Onions in a Stew-pan, with Pepper and Salt, and stew it on a slow Fire; (the Kidney will furnish Liquor enough) add the Mustard when ready.
Cut the Kidneys in small Pieces and clean them very well; cut alsoa Pound of pickled Pork in Pieces; chop some Parsley, Shallots, and a Clove of Garlick; garnish the bottom of your Stew-pan with Slices of Lard; then Kidney, Pork, and Herbs, then Lard again, until you have finished; let it stew for about three Hours over a slow Fire, or in the Oven; when it is almost done add a good Spoonful of Brandy; serve it in a Tureen either hot or cold. This is also done with whole Kidneys, being properly seasoned and larded, as in other Pieces of Beef.
Braze the Kidney till very tender, and shred it; which you may serve upon stewed Cucumbers, or any other Greens whatever; it must be made pretty re-lishing.
