Dr. Allinson's cookery book, comprising many valuable vegetarian recipes
Allinson, T. R. (Thomas Richard)
Vegetarian cooking
1/2 lb. of Allinson wholemeal bread, 3 oz. of grated cheese, 1 pint of
milk, 3 eggs, pepper and salt to taste, a little nutmeg, and some
butter. Cut the bread into slices and butter them: arrange in layers
in a pie-dish, spreading some cheese between the layers, and dusting
with pepper, salt, and a little nutmeg. Finish with a good sprinkling
of cheese. Whip up the eggs, mix them with the milk and pour the
mixture over the bread and cheese in the pie-dish. Pour the custard
back into the basin, and repeat the pouring over the contents of the
pie-dish. If this is done 2 or 3 times the top slices of bread and
butter get soaked and then bake better. This should also be done when
a bread and butter pudding is made. Bake the savoury until brown,
which it will be in about 3/4 of an hour.
BUTTER BEANS WITH PARSLEY SAUCE.
Pick the beans, wash them, and steep them over night in boiling water,
just covering them. Allow 2 or 3 oz. of beans for each person. In the
morning, let them cook gently in the water they are steeped in with
the addition of a little butter, until quite soft, which will be in
about 2 hours. The beans should be cooked in only enough water to keep
them from burning, therefore, when it boils away, add only just
sufficient for absorption. The sauce is made thus: 1 pint of milk, 1
tablespoonful of Allinson fine wheatmeal, a handful of finely chopped
parsley, the juice of 1/2 a lemon, pepper and salt to taste. Boil the
milk and thicken it with the flour, which should first be smoothed
with a little cold milk, then last of all add the lemon juice, the
seasoning, and the parsley. This dish should be eaten with potatoes
and green vegetables.
CARROTS AND RICE.
1 breakfastcupful of rice, 6 medium-sized carrots, 2 oz. of butter, 1
tablespoonful of finely chopped Parsley, 1 tablespoonful of Allinson
fine wheatmeal, pepper and salt to taste. Boil the rice in 1 quart of
water until quite tender and dry; meanwhile slice the carrots and stew
them in 1 pint of water and 1 oz. of butter until quite tender,
thicken them with the meal, add seasoning and the parsley. Set the
rice in the form of a ring on a dish, pile the carrots in the centre,
sprinkle a few breadcrumbs over the whole, also the butter cut into
little bits, and bake the dish in a moderate oven for 20 minutes.
CAULIFLOWER AND POTATO PIE.
1 fair-sized boiled (cold) cauliflower, 1 lb. of cold boiled potatoes,
1 pint of milk, 3 eggs, 8 oz. of Allinson fine wheatmeal, 1-1/2 oz. of
butter, 4 oz. of grated cheese, pepper and salt to taste. Cut up the
cauliflower and potatoes, sprinkle half the cheese between the
vegetables, make a batter of the milk and eggs and meal, add seasoning
to it, place the vegetables in a pie-dish, pour the batter over them,
cut the butter into little bits and put them on the top of the pie,
sprinkle the rest of the cheese over all, and bake for 1 hour.
