Dr. Allinson's cookery book, comprising many valuable vegetarian recipes
Allinson, T. R. (Thomas Richard)
Vegetarian cooking
1-1/2 lbs. of potatoes, two good-sized English onions, 1 pint of milk,
1/2 lb. of Allinson fine wheatmeal, 3 eggs, 2-1/2 oz. of butter,
pepper and salt to taste. Peel and wash the potatoes, and slice them
1/4 inch thick, then dry them on a cloth. Chop fine the onions. Put
the butter into the frying-pan, and let it get boiling hot, turn into
it the potatoes and onions, and fry them together, stirring frequently
until the vegetables begin to brown and get soft. Make a batter of the
milk, meal, and eggs, stir the fried potatoes and onions into it, and
season with pepper and salt. Grease a pie-dish, turn the mixture into
it, and bake the savoury for 1-1/2 hours. Serve with vegetables and
tomato sauce. This is a very tasty dish.
BATTER VEGETABLE.
1/2 lb. of turnips, 1/2 lb. of carrots, 1/2 lb. of potatoes, 1/2 lb.
of shelled green peas (if in season), 1/2 lb. of onions, 8 oz. of
Allinson fine wheatmeal, 1 pint of milk, 3 eggs, 2 oz. of butter,
pepper and salt. Cut the vegetables into small dice; fry them in the
butter until fairly well cooked. Make the batter with the milk,
wheatmeal, and the eggs well beaten; add the vegetables and seasoning.
Bake the mixture in a pie-dish for 1-1/2 hours in a moderate oven.
SAVOURIES
ARTICHOKES AUX TOMATOES.
2 lbs. of artichokes, 1-1/2 lbs. of tomatoes (or three parts of a tin
of tomatoes), 1 oz. of Allinson fine wholemeal, 1 oz. of butter,
pepper and salt to taste, 1/2 dozen eschalots. Parboil the artichokes,
drain them, and cut them into slices. Make tomato sauce as follows:
Chop the eschalots up very finely, slice the tomatoes and stew both in
3/4 pint of water for 20 minutes, adding seasoning and the butter;
thicken the sauce with the wheatmeal, rub through a sieve, pour it
over the artichokes and stew both gently until the artichokes are
quite tender; serve with potatoes.
BEAN PIE.
This is made from boiled beans, which are put in a pie-dish, soaked
tapioca, flavouring herbs, pepper, salt, and butter are added, a cup
of water is poured in to make the gravy, a crust is put on the top,
and then baked for 1 hour or so. This is a tasty dish. Cold beans are
very nice if warmed in a frying-pan with oil or butter, and may be
eaten with potatoes, vegetables, and sauce. Mashed beans, flavoured
with pepper, salt, and mace, and put into pots make an excellent
substitute for potted meat.
