=SUBSTITUTES FOR MEAT DISHES.=
=34. Walnut Cutlets.=
Put a small cap of milk and 1/2-oz. of butter in a saucepan on the fire.
When it boils add 3-ozs. of _dried_ and _browned_ breadcrumbs and a
little dredging of flour. Let it cook until it no longer adheres to
the pan, and remove from the fire. When it is cool add 2 eggs, beating
until smooth, a large tablespoonful of shelled walnuts (previously run
through the nut mill), seasoning, and a little grated onion juice. Mix
well and shape into cakes about 1/2-in. thick on a floured board. Roll
in flour or egg and breadcrumbs, and fry. Serve with walnut gravy, or
round a dish of grilled tomatoes.
=35. Brown Bean Cutlets.=
Boil one pint of brown haricot beans until soft, strain and keep the
stock; pass the beans through a sieve and add a tablespoonful of
chopped parsley, a little grated onion, pepper, salt, a small piece of
butter, and, if liked, a few drops of A1 Sauce. Add breadcrumbs until
the right consistency is obtained for moulding into cutlet form. Egg,
crumb, and fry as usual. Serve with tomato sauce or a rich gravy.
=36. Green Pea Cutlets.=
Green pea cutlets, either fresh or dried, may be made the same way as
stated in the previous recipe, substituting a little chopped mint for
the parsley and onion, and serving with mint sauce, and a nice brown
gravy made from the green pea stock.
=37. Haricot Cutlets.=
Boil 1-pt. of brown or white haricot beans with one or two onions till
quite soft, strain and pass through a sieve, add some chopped parsley,
a tablespoonful of grated pine kernels, a little tapioca (previously
soaked in cold water), pepper and salt and a few breadcrumbs. Mould
into cutlets, egg, crumb, and fry. Serve with sliced lemon and parsley
sauce, or with brown gravy.
=38. Walnut Rissoles.=
Take 1/2-pt. ground walnuts, 1/2-pt. breadcrumbs, 1-oz. butter, 1-oz.
flour, a little milk, chopped parsley, and pepper and salt to taste.
Make a thick white sauce with butter, flour and milk, add all the
other ingredients. Mix well and form into rissoles, dip in egg, then
in crumbs, and fry crisp in boiling oil. These may be glazed and eaten
cold with a salad and mint sauce.
=39. Stuffed Vegetable Marrow.=
Peel a medium sized marrow, and remove the seeds, keeping the marrow
whole. Prepare the following stuffing:--
Mix 2 or 3 chopped and fried onions, 6-ozs. pine kernels (these should
be ground and also fried with the onions), 6-ozs. breadcrumbs, pepper
and salt, 1 chopped hard boiled egg, and 1 raw egg to bind. Fill the
marrow with this mixture, and steam for half an hour to partly cook
the marrow. Now place in a baking tin, cover with breadcrumbs, place
some small pieces of butter on top, and bake for another half hour
until the marrow is quite soft and a nice rich brown. Serve with brown
gravy.
