Take 1/2-lb. Cheddar cheese, flake it, then take 2 good sized tomatoes,
peel them by placing them in hot water for a few minutes. Put the
tomatoes into a basin, chop and beat them into a pulp, add pepper and
a little chopped parsley, mint, and thyme. Mix the tomato pulp with
the grated cheese and beat well together until a paste is produced.
Press into small soufflé dishes.
=152. Potted Haricot Meat.=
Stew some brown haricot beans for several hours (saving the liquor for
stock). Pass them through a sieve, mix with them some brown
breadcrumbs, a finely chopped raw onion, parsley, a little thyme and a
1/4-oz. of butter; pepper and salt to taste. Heat all together in a
saucepan for 10 minutes; pour into jars, and cover with melted butter.
This is a useful dish for breakfast, supper, or when travelling.
=153. Savoury Protose Pudding.=
Make a good stuffing of 1-lb. wholemeal breadcrumbs, sweet herbs,
1/4-lb. butter, chopped parsley, peel of 1 lemon, chopped fine, and
pepper and salt to taste. Bind with 2 or 3 eggs. Thickly line a
well-greased pie dish with the stuffing, then press into the middle a
tin of Protose (minced or machined). Thickly cover over with stuffing.
Put little pieces of butter or nucoline on top, cover with a tin and
bake in slow oven an hour or an hour and a half. This makes a savoury
dish, when cold, with a good salad.
=154. Potted Tomato Paste.=
Three tomatoes, 1 egg, 2-ozs. grated cheese, 4-ozs. breadcrumbs, 1/2-oz.
butter, 1 small onion minced fine, pepper and celery salt. Peel the
tomatoes and cut them up in a small saucepan with the butter and
onion; when tender, mash smoothly and add the egg. Stir quickly until
it becomes thick; add the cheese and breadcrumbs last, when off the
fire. Turn into a pot and cover with butter.
=155. Delicious Milk Cheese.=
Make 1 gallon of rich milk just lukewarm, add the juice of 3 lemons,
or 2 tablespoons of French Wine Vinegar, and stir well. Set aside till
curd and whey are separated; now pour into a cheese cloth with a basin
underneath to catch the whey. Let it hang (after tying up) until well
drained, then place between two plates, or in a flat colander, with a
weight on top, or in a cheese press, until firmly set.
=156. A Good Salad Dressing.=
Rub an eggspoonful of mustard, salt and sugar in a teaspoonful of
olive oil and cream, until the mixture is quite smooth. Then rub the
yolk of a hard-boiled egg in the paste, and keep it free from lumps.
Pour in a dessertspoonful of vinegar, stirring slowly all the time.
Add a teacupful of rich milk or some cream. Serve.
=GRAVIES AND SAUCES.=
A great variety of savoury and nutritious gravies can be made from
vegetable stock, with the usual thickening, (arrowroot is best), a
pinch of salt and pepper, seasoning, and a lump of butter. Brown
haricot broth is the best stock (Recipe 5). The addition of Nutril,
Wintox, Mapleton's Gravy Essence, or Marmite gives flavour and
increases the nourishing quality.
