Take 1/2-pint of mixed and shelled nuts, 4 or 5 mashed potatoes, 1
chopped and fried onion, and a pinch of mace. Chop the nuts, or pass
through a nut-mill, and add them to the potato, with the onion and
seasoning. Form into croquettes, brush over with egg, and cover with
fine breadcrumbs and fry in boiling oil. Serve with bread sauce.
=42. Mock Chicken Cutlets.=
A tasty dish to be served with bread sauce is prepared as
follows:--Run through the nut mill 2 cups of breadcrumbs and 1 good
cup of shelled walnuts. Mix these together with a small piece of
butter, a tablespoonful of grated onion juice, and a teaspoonful of
mace. Melt a large teaspoonful of butter in a saucepan, with half a
teaspoonful of flour and add gradually 2 cups of fresh milk; when this
boils add the other ingredients, salt and pepper to taste, add a
beaten egg, and when removed from the fire, a teaspoonful of lemon
juice. Stir well and turn out into a dish to cool, then shape into
cutlets, dip in egg, then in breadcrumbs, as usual, and fry crisp.

Put 1 pint of milk in a saucepan to boil with 1 onion chopped fine,
when it boils add 3-ozs. of semolina stirring all the time, boil for
15 minutes, then add 1-oz. of breadcrumbs, 1-oz of butter, 1 egg,
pepper and salt to taste. Mix well and steam in a buttered basin for
half-an-hour, then cut out in pieces the shape of an egg (with a deep
spoon), pile them in the centre of the dish, and pour thick white
sauce over them, garnish with green peas, and carrots very finely
chopped.

Skin and stew till quite tender 1/2-pint of white haricot beans in
sufficient water to cover them. Add 2 small onions grated, 1
tablespoon of milk or cream, pepper and salt to taste. Simmer a little
longer, and beat till quite smooth. Take off the fire, and add enough
breadcrumbs to make fairly firm, form into cutlets, dip in egg, then
in crumbs, and fry crisp. Serve with brown or tomato sauce.
=45. Lentil Cutlets.=
Take a teacup of Egyptian lentils; boil them in water sufficient to
cover until tender. Add 3 grated onions, some chopped parsley and
thyme, and enough breadcrumbs to make a stiff mixture. Turn on to
large plates and flatten with a knife. Then cut into eight triangular
sections and shape them like small cutlets. When cold, roll in egg,
then in breadcrumbs, and fry crisp after inserting small pieces of
macaroni into each pointed end. Serve with mint or tomato sauce, and
with vegetables.
