The filling is a fine forcemeat of cooked game meat, made to use up leftover roast. The purée was pounded in a mortar and pressed through a hair sieve – today a food processor does the same job.
Finely divide the meat
Scrape or finely chop the game meat and pound it fine in a mortar, or run it in a food processor.
Add cream and butter
Stir the butter soft and add it together with the 3 tablespoons of cream, a little at a time, until the mixture is smooth.
Sieve the purée
Press the mixture through a fine sieve.
Season and fold in the cream
Season with salt and pepper and carefully fold in the stiffly whipped cream.
Fill the puffs
Fill the purée into a piping bag and pipe it into the side of the baked choux puffs. Warm a few minutes in a hot oven before serving.
The mortar and hair sieve have been replaced by a food processor and fine-mesh sieve. Tablespoons have been kept as modern tbsp. The number of choux puffs is estimated.
