Teal, Filleted

A handsome dish may be made by half roasting the birds, then taking them down, dividing them into neat joints, and stewing these for eight or ten minutes in half a pint of good brown gravy rather highly seasoned, and flavoured with port or lemon-juice. When sufficiently dressed the birds should be neatly dished upon toast, and should have the gravy strained over them. A little mushroom sauce should be sent to table in a tureen. Three or four birds will be required for this entree. Time, half an hour. Sufficient for four or five persons.
