PPER AND SERVE.

[1] _Quadratum imponis_, which is plain enough. The hare
is to be roast therein. Dann. Cut in dice; Goll. Spread
it out. Cf. illustration of square roast pan.

[2] Presumably the trimmings of the hare or of pork.
This forcemeat is supposed to be used for the stuffing
of the hare; it, being boned, is rolled up, the
forcemeat inside, the outside covered with caul or
paper, fastened with skewers. Danneil's interpretation
suggests the thought that the raw hare's meat is cut
into squares which are filled with forcemeat, rolled,
wrapped, and roast--a roulade of hare in the regular
term.

[392] BOILED HARE
_ALITER LEPOREM ELIXUM_

DRESS THE HARE; [boil it]. IN A FLAT SAUCE PAN POUR OIL, BROTH,
VINEGAR, RAISIN WINE, SLICED ONION, GREEN RUE AND CHOPPED THYME [a
sauce which is served on the side] AND SO SERVE IT.

Tor. continuing without interruption.

[393] SPICED SAUCE FOR HARE
_LEPORIS CONDITURA_

CRUSH PEPPER, RUE, ONIONS, THE HARE'S LIVER, BROTH, REDUCED WINE,
RAISIN WINE, A LITTLE OIL; BIND WITH RUE WHEN BOILING.

Tor. _id._

[394] SPRINKLED HARE
_LEPOREM (PIPERE) SICCO SPARSUM_ [1]

DRESS THE HARE AS FOR KID A LA TARPEIUS [{Rx} No. 363]. BEFORE COOKING
DECORATE IT NICELY [2]. SEASON WITH PEPPER, RUE, SATURY, ONION, LITTLE
THYME, MOISTEN WITH BROTH, ROAST IN THE OVEN; AND ALL OVER SPRINKLE
HALF AN OUNCE OF PEPPER, RUE, ONIONS, SATURY, 4 DATES, AND RAISINS.
THE GRAVY IS GIVEN PLENTY OF COLOR OVER THE OPEN FIRE, AND IS SEASONED
WITH WINE, OIL, BROTH, REDUCED WINE, FREQUENTLY STIRRING IT [basting
the hare] SO THAT IT MAY ABSORB ALL THE FLAVOR. AFTER THAT SERVE IT
IN A ROUND DISH WITH DRY PEPPER.

[1] Tac., Tor. _succo sparsum_.

[2] We have no proof that the ancients used the larding
needle as we do (or did) in our days. "Decorate" may,
therefore, also mean "garnish," i.e. marinate the meat
in a generous variety of spices, herbs, roots and wine.
It is noteworthy that this term, "garnish," used here
and in the preceding formulae has survived in the
terminology of the kitchen to this day, in that very
sense.

[395] SPICED HARE
_ALITER LEPOREM CONDITUM_

[The well-prepared hare] COOK IN WINE, BROTH, WATER, WITH A LITTLE
MUSTARD [seed], DILL AND LEEKS WITH THE ROOTS. WHEN ALL IS DONE,

REDUCED WINE AND A LI
