Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 15 shelled walnuts , finely crushed
  • 2 egg yolks , beaten
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ¼ lb (1 stick / 8 tbsp) butter
  • 2–3 lbs of veal or chicken meat, cut into 1- inch cubes

Directions

1

Place the meat or chicken in a saucepan , and cook over medium heat until tender.

2

Remove the meat, and set it aside in a dish while leaving the remaining juices in the saucepan.

3

In another saucepan, add the flour and stir over heat until it becomes light brown in color—do not overcook! Then, add half the butter.

4

Add the walnuts, garlic, and egg yolks, stirring constantly.

5

Add the meat juices from the other saucepan, and stir until all the ingredients thicken. Immediately remove from the heat to avoid solidifying the egg yolks. Fold in the meat.

6

Pan fry the remaining half stick of butter until brown, and pour over the dish before serving.
