Recipe:
Ingredients:
- Tendons of veal
- Fowl forcemeat
- Truffles
- Risotto (No. 190)
- A cock's comb
- Tongue
- Good stock
- Espagnole sauce (No. 1)
- Cooked peas (optional)

Instructions:
1. Begin by partially braising a fine piece of veal tendons. To do this, place the tendons in a stewpan and cook them slowly in a broth until they become tender and easily sliceable.
2. Once cooked, remove the tendons from the broth and press them between two plates until they cool and firm up.
3. Slice the tendons into fillets and spread a thin layer of fowl forcemeat onto each fillet. Decorate with slices of truffle, ensuring an even distribution across the fillets.
4. Place the fillets into a stewpan and cover them with a generous amount of good stock. Bring to a boil and continue cooking until the forcemeat and truffles are thoroughly cooked.
5. Meanwhile, prepare a delicious risotto all'Italiana (No. 190) by following the appropriate recipe. Once cooked, transfer the risotto onto a serving dish.
6. Decorate the risotto by placing small pieces of red tongue, cut into decorative shapes, around the dish. In the center, skewer a whole cooked truffle and a white cock's comb using a silver skewer for an elegant touch.
7. Arrange the cooked tendons of veal around the dish, creating a visually appealing presentation.
8. Finish the dish by pouring a generous amount of Espagnole sauce (No. 1) over the tendons of veal and serve immediately.

Optional Variation:
If desired, the risotto can be omitted and the veal tendons can be served with a different accompaniment. Instead of the risotto, mix the Espagnole sauce with cooked peas and chopped truffle. This variation adds a burst of freshness and vibrant color to the dish while still maintaining its rich flavors.
