Vegetarian cooking
Prepare the celery as in previous recipe, leaving it in long pieces,
and place it in a vegetable steamer, which consists of a large
saucepan over which is fitted a perforated top. Add a little pepper
and salt, and let the celery steam for 1-1/2 hours. For the sauce you
need: 1 pint of milk, 1 oz. of butter, 1 dessertspoonful of Allinson
cornflour, 1-1/2 oz. of grated cheese, pepper and salt to taste. Boil
the milk with the butter, thicken it with the cornflour smoothed first
with a spoonful of water, and last add the grated cheese and
seasoning; let the sauce simmer, stirring it until the cheese is
dissolved. Have ready some Allinson plain rusks on a flat dish, place
the celery on it, pour the sauce over, and serve very hot.
CELERY (STEWED) WITH WHITE SAUCE.
2 or 3 heads of celery (according to quantity required), 2 oz. of
butter, 1 dessertspoonful of flour, 1/2 pint of milk, pepper and salt
to taste. Remove the outer hard pieces from the celery, saving them
for flavouring soups or sauces; wash well and cut up in pieces about 3
inches long. Set over the fire with 1/2 pint of water, the butter and
seasoning. Let cook gently until the celery is quite tender, which
will take about 1 hour; add the thickening and the milk. Let all
gently simmer for a few minutes, and serve.
LEEKS.
Remove the coarse part of the green stalks of the leeks. If the leeks
are gritty cut them right through and wash them well, and if necessary
use a brush to get out the sand. Tie the leeks in bunches and steam
them until tender, which will take about 1-1/2 hours. Make a white
sauce as for the cauliflower. Put the leeks on pieces of dry toast on
a flat dish, pour the sauce over them, and serve.
MUSHROOMS (STEWED).
1 lb. of mushrooms, 1 oz. of butter, 1/2 pint of water, 1/2
teaspoonful of herbs, 1/2 saltspoonful of nutmeg, pepper and salt to
taste, juice of 1/2 a lemon, the yolk of 1 egg, 1 dessertspoonful of
Allinson cornflour. Peel and clean the mushrooms, and wash them in
water with a dash of vinegar in it. Wipe them dry with a cloth; have
the water and butter ready in a saucepan with the herbs, and
seasoning. Stew the mushrooms in this for 10 to 15 minutes. Thicken
with the cornflour, then stir in the yolk of egg with the lemon juice,
and serve.
ONION TORTILLA.
1 lb. of Spanish onions, 1-1/2 oz. of butter or oil, 3 eggs. Melt the
butter in a frying-pan, slice the onions, and fry them for 10 or 15
minutes, beat the eggs, add them to the onions, season with pepper and
salt, and fry the whole a light brown on both sides.
ONIONS (BRAISED).
2 lbs. of onions, 2 oz. of butter, vege-butter, or oil, pepper and
salt to taste. Peel and slice the onions, and fry them a nice brown in
the butter. Then add enough water to make gravy, add pepper and salt,
and stew the onions for 20 minutes. Eat with wholemeal toast. This is
very savoury, and is much liked.
