Allinson, T. R. (Thomas Richard)
Vegetarian cooking
1 small cauliflower, 3/4 lb. of potatoes, 1/2 lb. of Allinson fine
wheatmeal, 3 eggs, 3/4 pint of milk, 1 oz. of butter, 1 saltspoonful
of nutmeg, pepper and salt. Parboil the cauliflower and potatoes, cut
the former into pieces and slice the potatoes; place both in a
pie-dish with the butter and seasoning; make a batter of the meal,
milk, and the eggs, well beaten; pour it over the vegetables, mix
well, and bake 1-1/2 hours.
CELERY À LA PARMESAN.
2 heads of celery, 1 pint of milk, 2 oz. of Parmesan, or any other
cooking cheese, 2 tablespoonfuls of breadcrumbs, 1 oz. of butter. Cut
the celery into pieces 3 inches long, stew it in the milk until
tender; drain the milk and make a sauce of it, thickening with
Allinson fine wheatmeal, and adding the cheese and seasoning to taste.
Put the celery into a pie-dish, pour the sauce over it, sprinkle the
breadcrumbs over the whole, place the butter in little pieces on the
top, and bake for 15 minutes in a moderate oven.
CELERY CROQUETTES.
1 or 2 heads of celery, a teacupful of dried and sifted Allinson
breadcrumbs, 2 eggs, pepper and salt to taste. Well wash the celery,
remove the coarse outer stalks, and steam the parts used until they
are a little tender. Then cut them into pieces about 2 inches long,
dip them first into the egg whipped up, then into the breadcrumbs, and
fry them in boiling butter, vege-butter, or olive oil until a nice
brown; dust with pepper and salt, and serve up very hot; eat with
white or tomato sauce.
CHESTNUT PIE.
2 lbs. of chestnuts, 1 head of celery, 1 large Spanish onion, 1/2 lb.
of Allinson fine wheatmeal, 4 oz. of butter, pepper and salt. Boil the
chestnuts until partly tender, and remove the skins; cut the celery
into pieces, removing the outer very hard pieces only, slice the onion
and stew until tender in 1 pint of water; mix all the ingredients
together, adding 1 oz. of the butter and seasoning to taste; make some
pastry of the meal, 3 oz. of butter, and a little cold water; turn the
vegetables into a pie-dish, cover the dish with the pastry, and bake
the pie for 1 hour; serve with brown gravy.
COLCANON.
1 large cabbage, 1 pint of mashed potatoes, 2 oz. of grated cheese, 2
eggs, 1 oz. of butter, 1/2 saltspoonful of nutmeg, pepper and salt to
taste. Boil the cabbage in 1 pint of water until quite tender, drain
the water off to keep for stock, chop the cabbage up fine; mix it with
the mashed potatoes, the butter and seasoning and the grated cheese;
beat up the eggs, and mix these well with the rest; press the mixture
into a greased mould, heat all well through in the oven or in a
steamer, turn out and serve with a white sauce. This can be made from
cold potatoes and cold cabbage.
