Free the fish from skin and bones and flake it very finely, mix the anchovy essence, paste, and chutney with the lemon -juice and a table- spoonful of rich brown sauce ; stir well and add a few drops of lemon- juice, a pinch of salt, and cayenne to flavour. Mix in three parts of the fish and half the rice ; dissolve the gelatine and strain into the above. Whisk up the aspic until it becomes of a frothy appearance, quickly line or mask the inside of a plain savarin mould. Mix the remainder of whipped aspic with the prepared fish, rice, &c., and fill this into the lined mould as soon as the coating therein is sufficiently set. Place it on the ice for about an hour. Mix the remainder of rice and fish, season with salt and pepper, cayenne and white pepper. Turn out the mould on to a dish, put the rice and fish loosely in the centre, so as to give it a dome- shaped appearance. Trim the prawns and range them neatly round the top of the timbale. The base of the dish can be garnished with diamond- shaped pieces of aspic. 659.
