Civet à Tout Vitesse
Language: French (Français)
Lorsque on sera très pressé, voici un' manière de confectionner un civet de lièvre que je recommande! Dépecez le lièvre comme pour le civet ordinaire : Mettez-le dans une casserole ou chaudron avec son sang et son foie écrasé! Un'demi-livre de poitrine de porc (coupée en morceaux); une vingtaine de petits oignons (un peu de sel et poivr'); un litre e demi de vin rouge. Fait' bouillir à tout' vitesse. Au bout de quinze minutes environ, lorsque la sauce est réduite de moitié, approchez un papier enflammé, de manière à mettre le feu au ragoût. Lorsqu'il sera éteint, liez la sauc(e) avec un' demi-livre de beurre manié de farine. Servez.
