Salpicon with Madeira

Place one-half ounce of butter in a saucepan, adding one-half wineglassful of sherry, a blanched throat of sweetbread, cut into dice, four mushrooms, one truffle, and one ounce of cooked smoked beef tongue, all cut the same as the sweetbread. Let this cook for five minutes, then add one-half pint of Madeira sauce, and let it cook again for five minutes. It will then be ready for garnishing.
