Modern Redaction


Ingredients:

4 tbsp lard
6 slices of bread, crust removed
100ml broth
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp finely-ground black pepper
salt, to taste

Method:

Melt the lard in a frying pan, add the bread and fry until golden brown on both sides. Break the bread into small chunks then combine with the broth and vinegar and set aside to soak for 10 minutes.

After this time, turn the mixture into a pan and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened then pass through a fine-meshed sieve, pushing with the back of a spoon. Add the black pepper and season to taste with salt. Bring to a boil and serve hot as an accompaniment to veal or venison.
