Allinson, T. R. (Thomas Richard)
Vegetarian cooking
1/2 lb. of medium-sized mushrooms, 1 oz. of butter, pepper and salt to
taste. For the pastry, 1/2 lb. of Allinson fine wheatmeal, 3 oz. of
butter (or 3 tablespoonfuls of Allinson frying oil). Make the pastry
of the meal, butter, and a little water; pick and wash the mushrooms,
cut them up in small pieces dredge them with pepper and salt, and fry
them in the butter for 5 to 10 minutes. Roll the paste out, cut it in
squares of about 4 inches, and place as much mushroom on each as it
will conveniently hold. Press the edges of each square together,
folding them in triangular shape, and bake them in a moderate oven for
an hour. Serve with brown gravy.
OATMEAL PIE-CRUST.
4 oz. each of medium oatmeal and Allinson fine wheatmeal, and 2-1/2
oz. of vege-butter or butter. Make the crust in the usual way with
cold water. It will be found beautifully short, very tasty, and more
digestible than white flour pastry.
ONION TART.
1 lb. of Spanish onions, 1 lb. of English onions, 4 oz. of butter, 3
eggs, 1/2 pint of cream, pepper and salt to taste, 1/2 lb. of Allinson
fine wheatmeal. Slice the onions, and stew them with 1-1/2 oz. of
butter without browning them. When tender let the onions cool, mix
with them the eggs, well beaten, and the cream, also the seasoning.
Make a paste with the meal and the rest of the butter, line with it a
baking-tin, keeping back a small quantity of the paste; pour the
mixture of onions, eggs, and cream into the paste-lined tin, cut the
rest of the paste into thin strips, and lay these crossways over the
tart, forming diamond-shaped squares; bake the tart in a moderate oven
until golden brown.
ONION TURNOVER.
2 medium-sized Spanish onions, 1 oz. of butter (or Allinson frying
oil), 3 eggs, pepper and salt. For the pastry, 6 oz. of Allinson fine
wheatmeal, 2-1/2 oz. of butter or oil. Chop the onions fine, boil them
a few minutes in a little water, and drain them; stew them in the
butter for 10 minutes, adding the seasoning beat up the eggs and mix
them well with the onions over the fire, remove the mixture as it
begins to set. Have ready the pastry made with the meal, butter, and a
little cold water, roll it out, place the onions and eggs on it, fold
the pastry over, pinching the edges over, and bake the turnover brown.
Serve with gravy. This is a Turkish dish.
POTATO PIE.
Slice potatoes and onions, stew with a little water until nearly done,
put into a pie-dish, flavour with herbs, pepper, and salt, add a
little soaked tapioca and very little butter, cover with short
wheatmeal crust, and bake 1 hour. To make a very plain pie-crust use
about 2 oz. of butter or a proportionate quantity of Allinson frying
oil to 1 lb. of wheatmeal. Roll or touch with the fingers as little as
possible, and mix with milk instead of water. Eat this pie with green
vegetables.
