3 Stir the meat, then
place it in a colander in
the sink to drain. Remove
the thyme and tarragon
sprigs, the whole clove,
the bay leaf, and, if you
can find it, the cardamom
seed. Taste a piece of
shallot to verify the
seasoning; add a little
more salt if desired. Let
the meat drain for about
10 minutes.
