Preparation Salt and pepper the capon and tie it together with a thin string. Let it brown in the butter and oil, a little onion and some diced rosemary. Then add the ham cut into thin strips.

Cook the capon adding a little wine, every now and then. When the capon is tender, slice it adn arrange it on a serving dish in a warm place.

Put the capon gravy; back on the fire and add a glass of cream and the juice of half a lemon. Let it boil for just a moment and then add the two yolks. Pour the sauce over the capon while it is still hot.
 
The Chef's tips Serve together with braised mushrooms or onions. We suggest you drink a Gattinara wine with your dish.
