Allinson, T. R. (Thomas Richard)
Vegetarian cooking
Fry some potatoes, then some onions, put them in layers in a pie-dish;
next make a batter of Allinson wholemeal flour, 1 or 2 eggs, milk, and
a little pepper with salt; pour over the fried vegetables as they lie
in the dish, bake in the oven from 1/2 an hour to 1 hour, until, in
fact, the batter has formed a crust; eat with the usual vegetables. Or
chop fine cold vegetables of any kind, fry onions and add to them, put
in a pie-dish, pour some of the batter as above over them, and bake.
All kinds of cold vegetables, cold soup, porridge, &c., can go into
this, and tinned or fresh tomatoes will make it more savoury. Tomatoes
may be wiped, put in a pie-dish, batter poured over, and then baked,
and are very tasty this way. Butter adds to the flavour of these
dishes, but does not make them more wholesome or more nourishing.
STEWED FRUIT PUDDING.
Cut Allinson wholemeal bread into slices a little over a 1/4 of an
inch thick, line a pie-dish with these, having first cut off the hard
crusts. Then fill the dish with hot stewed fruit of any kind, and at
once cover it with a layer of bread, gently pressed on the hot fruit.
Turn out when cold on to a flat dish, pour over it a white sauce, and
serve.
SUBSTANTIAL BREAD PUDDINGS.
Soak crusts or slices of Allinson bread in hot water, then break fine
in a pie-dish, add to this soaked currants, raisins, chopped nuts or
almonds, a beaten-up egg, and milk, with sugar and spice, and bake in
the oven. Or tie the whole up in a pudding-cloth and boil. Serve with
white sauce or eat with stewed fresh fruit. These puddings can be
eaten hot or cold; labourers can take them to their work for dinner,
and their children cannot have a better meal to take to school.
SWEET BATTER.
Mix Allinson wholemeal flour, milk, 1 or 2 eggs together, and a little
sugar and cinnamon, and it is ready for use. Stew ripe cherries,
gooseberries, currants, raspberries, plums, damsons, or other ripe
fruit in a jar, pour into a pie-dish; pour into the batter named
above, bake, and this is a good substitute for a fruit pie. Prunes can
be treated the same way, or the batter can be cooked in the saucepan,
poured into a mould, allowed to go cold and set; then it forms
wholemeal blancmange, and may be eaten with stewed fresh fruit. Rusks,
cheesecakes, buns, biscuits, and other like articles as Madeira cake,
pound cake, wedding cake, &c., can all be made of wholemeal flour.
WHOLEMEAL SOUP.
Chop fine any kinds of greens or vegetables, stew in a little water
until thoroughly done, then add plenty of hot water, with pepper and
salt to taste, and a 1/4 of an hour before serving, pour in a cupful
of the "Sweet Batter," and you get a thick, nourishing soup. To make
it more savoury, fry your vegetables before making into soup.
