  1. Clean and singe a 4 to 5 pound fowl.
  2. Truss the wings and legs close to the body.
  3. Put it in a deep pan and cover it with water.
  4. Bring water to a boil and skim well.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon salt and 2 onions, one of them studded with a clove.
  6. Add 2 leeks.
  7. Make a faggot by tying together 2 stalks of celery, 4 springs of parsley, 1 small bay leaf and a spray of thyme.
  8. Add the faggot to the rest of the ingredients.
  9. Cook slowly for 2 hours or until fowl is tender.

Half an hour before the fowl is done, prepare the rice:

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a pan.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon chopped onion.
  3. Cook until the onion is soft.
  4. Add 1 cup rice and shake over the fire until the grains are coated with the butter.
  5. Add 2 cups boiling chicken broth in which the fowl is cooking.
  6. Cover closely and cook in a moderate oven (375ºF) or on top of the stove over very low hear for 20 to 25 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed by the rice.
  7. Add 1 tablespoon soft butter and toss it through the rice with a fork to avoid mashing the grains.

Prepare the following sauce while the rice is cooking:

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan.
  2. Stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons flour.
  3. Stir in gradually, 1 1/2 cups chicken broth.
  4. Cook, stirring constantly until the sauce is smooth and thick.
  5. Correct the seasoning.
  6. Add a little nutmeg, cream and a little of the hot sauce and stir into the sauce.
  7. Add a few drops of lemon juice and cook for 2 or 3 minutes but do not boil.

Put all of it together:

  1. Make a bed of the rice on a serving platter, carve the fowl and arrange it on the rice.
  2. Slice the carrots and arrange them around the bird.
