Boil potatoes in water until tender. Keep warm.

Saute morels in a little butter until cooked. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

In a frying pan, cook the veal lightly in butter. Sandwich the cooked veal between two squab fillets. Hold with cocktail sticks if necessary.

Place 1 cabbage leaf on each plate. Lay the cooked meat, boiled potatoes and morels on top of the cabbage - distribute among the four plates. Pour a little sauce around the meat.


Squab is a young pigeon. You can try this recipe with chicken, but better cooked veal kidney or sweetbreads.

Morels are a type of mushroom and can be substituted for other mushrooms.
