Prepare a dariole-mould of each of the four following royales:—
1. Of a purée of haricot-beans with a slight addition of tomato.
2. Of a chicken purée moistened with velouté.
3. Of a purée of asparagus-tops combined with a few cooked spinach leaves, to deepen the colour.
4. Of a carrot purée (Purée Crécy).
Having poached and cooled the royales, cut them as follows:—
(1) Into dice, (2) into lozenges, (3) into little leaves, and (4) into stars.
Place them all in the soup-tureen, and, when about to serve, pour one quart of boiling and very clear chicken consommé over them.
