Roasted Poussins, Hamburg Style

4 servings

Ingredients

• 3 pcs small poussins
• salt (a little)
• butter (a little)

Instructions

1. For 4 people, allow 3-4 small poussins.
2. After preparing, lard quite closely and finely, lightly salt, and place with butter in an earthenware cooking dish with a tightly fitting lid.
3. Arrange the poussins as close together as possible and steam slowly over gentle heat, shaking the pot back and forth frequently.
4. After just under ¾ hour, when they are almost done, cover the pot with an iron plate and place glowing coals on top to quickly brown them from above, or place the open pot in a very hot oven until they get color.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
