Method

5 soļi
  1. Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute without browning. Add the onion, bay leaves and meat, then stir in the stock a little at a time.
  3. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring now and then, until the onion is soft and the meat is hot through (75 °C).
  4. Stir in the mushroom powder, cloves, mace, lemon zest, parsley and salt to taste and simmer for 2 minutes.
  5. Beat the egg yolks with the vinegar. Stir a ladleful of the hot sauce into them, then stir the mixture back into the pan. Heat gently, stirring, for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and just begins to bubble at the edge; don't let it boil hard. Take out the bay leaves and serve at once.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

the method is the book's: the meat cut off large roasts, smaller ones chopped up with all their bones, cooked well in a saucepan with butter, a little flour, finely chopped onions, bay leaves and a little meat stock (or boiling water), finished with mushroom powder, ground cloves and mace, fine lemon peel, chopped parsley and salt, then thickened with egg yolk beaten with wine vinegar and poured into the dish once it boils up. All amounts and times are ours.

Bones

the book chops small roasts, such as birds, up bones and all. That leaves sharp splinters in the sauce, so we use only the meat. Simmer the bones for stock and use that instead of water.

Boiling the yolks

the flour in the sauce stops the yolks from curdling as quickly as in a plain egg sauce, so a brief bubble, as the book says, is fine. A long boil will still split it.

Leftovers

cool roast meat quickly after the meal, keep it covered in the fridge and use it within 2 days. Reheat it only once, until piping hot (75 °C).
