A French-inspired cold preparation (chaud-froid) from the festive-food chapter: fried reindeer fillets are coated in a gelatin-reinforced game sauce and garnished on a platter with tomato and Italian salad.
Fry the fillets
Cut fillets from the saddle or leg, pound them lightly, season with salt and pepper, and fry them in butter.
Press cold
Press the fillets between two plates until they are completely cold.
Make the sauce
Melt 40 g butter, stir in the flour, and thin with the strong game stock. Stir in the chopped olives, mushroom, and truffle. Add the soaked, snipped gelatin and bring the sauce to a boil.
Enrich and chill
Take the sauce off the heat, enrich it with the egg yolks and 15 g cold butter, and stir it over ice until it becomes smooth and begins to thicken.
Coat the fillets
Dip the fillet slices in the sauce and place them on a platter until the sauce has set.
Arrange
Arrange the meat pieces against a bread base with tomato slices under each piece, and place Italian salad in the center of the ring.
Gelatin sheets kept as a number of sheets; game stock given in deciliters. The amount of butter for enriching (15 g cold butter) is listed as a separate ingredient. The quantity of fillets is estimated.
