Stew a cupful of white haricots with 6 onions and water to cover them,
until perfectly soft. Rub through a wire sieve or potato masher. Add
3-ozs. of mashed potato, 6-ozs. of brown breadcrumbs, 1-oz. of butter,
1-oz. grated cheese, and an eggspoonful of mustard. Mix well with
pestle and mortar and fill small pots, cover with melted butter.
=145. Potted Lentil Savoury.=
Take 1/4-lb. lentils (cooked), 3-ozs. mashed potato, 2-ozs. breadcrumbs,
1 egg (beaten), chopped parsley, a little onion juice, salt and
pepper, and 1-oz. butter. Put all in a pan and mix well together, with
2-ozs. of grated cheese, stirring all the time. When cooked, turn into
a mortar, pound well and press into potting dishes and melt butter
over the top. This makes excellent sandwiches with a little mustard
spread on it.
=146. Nut Sandwiches.=
Flake some Brazil or other nuts and spread a thin layer in some bread
and butter sandwiches which have been dressed with honey or jam.
Almonds can be used if preferred, and curry powder instead of
preserve, if they are preferred savoury instead of sweet.
=147. Tomato or Egg Sandwiches.=
Make sandwiches by spreading tomato paste between slices of bread and
butter. A dish of mustard and cress sandwiches should be served with
them. Sieved hard-boiled eggs, with a pinch of herbs, make good
sandwiches also.
=148. Egg and Cress Sandwiches.=
Take some eggs, boiled hard; chop very fine and place between some
rounds of white bread, spread a little Mayonnaise sauce on them and a
layer of chopped cress. The rounds of bread should be cut out with a
cutter. Pile the sandwiches on a dish and decorate with parsley, and a
little chopped yolk of the eggs.
=149. Cabbage Salad.=
Two eggs well beaten, 6 tablespoonfuls of cream, 1/2-teaspoon of salt, 6
teaspoons of vinegar, and a small piece of butter. Put on the fire and
cook, stirring continually until quite thick. Prepare a half head of
cabbage chopped fine, sprinkled with salt. Add to the dressing when
cold 2 tablespoonfuls of cream, and pour over the cabbage.
=150. Potted Haricot Savoury.=
Put a good breakfastcupful of brown beans, with a few onions, into a
brown stew-jar, and cover with a quart, or rather more, of water.
Place in a slow oven and cook until the beans crack, and the liquid
will then have become a rich brown colour. After the liquid has been
poured from the beans (to be used as stock or for haricot tea) rub
them through a sieve or masher. To 7-ozs. of the pulp, add 3-ozs.
mashed potato, 3-ozs. brown breadcrumbs, and 1-1/2-ozs. butter; salt,
pepper, nutmeg and mace to taste, and a little fried onion if liked.
Put all in a pan and stir till hot, add 1 beaten egg, and cook until
the mixture leaves the sides of the pan, but do not let it get too
stiff. Press into potting dishes as usual.
=151. Cheese and Tomato Paste.=
