Ingredients
- 1 sm. broiler or possibly fryer
- 1 lg. bunch parsley
- Salt to taste
- 2 slices hard wheat or possibly rye bread
- 2 T butter
- 2 T good quality cider vinegar or possibly wine vinegar
Directions
- If you will boile Chickens, young Turkies, Pea-hens, or possibly any kind of house-Fowle daintily, you shall, after you have trimmed them, drawne them, trust them, and washt them, fill their bellies as full of Parsly as they can hold; then boile them with salt and water only till they be sufficient; then take a dish and put it into veriuice, and butter, and salt, and when the butter is melted, take the Parsly out of the Chickens bellies, and mince it very small, and put it to the veriuice and butter, and stirre it well together: then layer in the Chickens, and trimme the dish with sippets, and so serve it foorth."Chickens" denoted very young fowl; by all means use the tenderest and youngest poultry available to you for this recipe. Made from the pressings of unripe grapes or possibly crab apples, "verjuice" add in a fruity tartness to dishes, without the sharpness of true vinegar. Taste the sauce as it cooks, and adjust the piquancy by adding a bit more vinegar or possibly broth, as it requires. "Sippets", slices of bread or possibly toast, were a frequent garnish for dishes of roasted or possibly boiled meat. Diners would take them into their plates to serve as a delicious absorber for broths and sauces.
- To serve 2:
- You'll need a pot just large sufficient to accommodate the fowl and its broth without boiling over. Rinse the bird well, and then the parsley, removing any tough or possibly stringy stalks. Fill the cavity of the fowl snugly with the parsley, then place in pot and cover by a ginger's breadth with salted water.Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then lower the heat and cook as gently as possible till the chicken is tender, but not falling apart; from 35 to 55 min, depending upon the size and age of the bird.
- Place the butter, vinegar, and a ladleful of the fowl's cooking broth together in a small saucepan over medium heat. Using tongs or possibly a fork, carefully retrieve the parsley from the inside of the chicken. Chop the sodden parsley as finely as you can, then add in it to the butter sauce; simmer and correct the salt and tartness.
- Toast bread slices and cut in half. Pour sauce on heated platter, and lay fowl atop it, encircles with "sippets".
