Squab Ballotines

Singe, draw and remove the bones from half a dozen tender squabs, stuff them with a nice chicken forcemeat, and leave on one leg to decorate later with a truffle. Form each squab to a round shape, place them in a buttered sautepan, season with one pinch of salt and half a pinch of pepper, and cover with a piece of buttered paper. Place the pan in the oven for fifteen minutes. When cooked serve wifh one-half pint of hot Italian sauce, laying the squabs on top, with a paper ruffle fastened to each leg. Garnish the dish with watercress.
