mould is turned inwards onto the cover and the edges then pressed together. Bake
in the oven until light brown, which will take about 2 hours. When cold, turn
out of the mould. Take 2 goose livers for this patty.
4. Goose Liver Patties, No. 3. The whiter and fatter the liver the better will
be the patty. For a patty of medium size take 2 large goose livers that have
lain in sweet milk for half a day, 1 pound of lean pork, 1 pound of leaf lard
and 1 pound of truffles. Cut the livers into pieces, clean the truffles as
already directed, sprinkle them with salt and white pepper and insert the
truffles into the liver. Make a forcemeat of the pork, leaf lard, fragments of
the liver all minced very finely and sea soned with pepper and salt, pass
through a sieve, salt the livers and then pack them into a pastry mould in
layers, alternately with truffles and the forcemeat. Bake for 2-2 1/2 hours in a
medium hot oven; if one wishes to keep the patty for any length of time pour
over it melted clear lard.
Turned Meat Pies (Timbale). NOTE.--Timbales are a variety of hot meat pies now
very frequently pre pared. They are cooked in a cylindrical double bottom mould
made of tin; after the pie is done it is turned out of the mould and takes its
name (timbale-drum) from its shape; serve as a hot entree before the roast.
Small timbales are made in the same manner in little tin forms, but are then
served after the soup (see No. 39). The filling for timbales is made in a
variety of ways, but a good, firm chicken-, veal- or wild fowl forcemeat is
always necessary, as well as a very fine ragout of veal sweetbreads, fowls,
goose livers or fish with mushrooms, truffles or small dumplings; the ra gout
should be made with a strong, well cooked and thick brown or white gravy. The
timbales will drop to pieces immediately if the forcemeat is too thin or if the
ragout gravy is not well bound.
Sometimes the outer wall or ring of a timbale consists of boiled rice, macaroni
or a fine crust; it is occassionally sent to the table sweetened.
