Allinson, T. R. (Thomas Richard)
Vegetarian cooking
Put a tablespoonful of butter or olive oil into a frying-pan or
saucepan, make it hot, dredge in a tablespoonful of Allinson fine
wheatmeal, brown this, then add boiling water, with pepper and salt to
taste. A little mushroom or walnut ketchup may be added it desired.
Eat with vegetables or savouries.
BROWN SAUCE (1).
1 oz. of Allinson fine wheatmeal, 1 oz. of butter, the juice of 1/2 a
lemon, a blade of mace, pepper and salt to taste. Melt the butter in a
frying-pan over the fire, stir into it the meal, and keep on stirring
until it is a brown colour. Stir in gradually enough boiling water to
make the sauce of the thickness of cream. Add the lemon juice, the
mace, and seasoning, and let the sauce simmer for 20 minutes. Remove
the mace, and pour the sauce over the onions. If the sauce should be
lumpy, strain it through a gravy-strainer.
BROWN SAUCE (2).
2 tablespoonfuls of Allinson fine wheatmeal, 1 oz. of butter, 6
eschalots chopped fine, 3 bay leaves, 1/2 a lemon (peeled) cut in
slices, pepper and salt to taste. Brown the meal with the butter; add
water enough to make the sauce the thickness of cream; add the
eschalots, lemon, bay leaves, and seasoning. Let all simmer 15 to 20
minutes; strain, return the sauce to the saucepan, and boil it up
before serving.
CAPER SAUCE.
Leave out the onions, otherwise make as "Wheatmeal Sauce." Add capers,
and cook 10 minutes after adding them. This goes very well with plain
boiled macaroni, or macaroni batter, or macaroni with turnips, &c.
CHOCOLATE SAUCE.
1 bar of Allinson chocolate, 1/2 pint of milk, 1/2 teaspoonful of
cornflour, 1/2 teaspoonful of vanilla essence. Melt the chocolate over
the fire with 1 tablespoonful of water, add the milk, and stir well;
when it boils add the cornflour and vanilla. Boil the sauce up, and
serve.
CURRANT SAUCE (RED & WHITE).
1/2 pint of both white and red currants, 2 ozs. of sugar, 1 gill of
water, 1/2 a teaspoonful of cornflour. Cook the ingredients for 10
minutes, rub the fruit through a sieve, re-heat it, and thicken the
sauce with the cornflour. Serve hot or cold.
CURRY SAUCE (1).
3 English onions, 1 carrot, 1 good cooking apple, 1 teaspoonful of
curry powder, 1/2 oz. of butter, 1 dessertspoonful of Allinson fine
wheatmeal, salt to taste. Chop up the onions, carrot, and apple, and
stew them in 3/4 pint of water until quite tender, adding the curry
and salt. When quite soft rub the vegetables well through a sieve;
brown the meal in the saucepan in the butter, add the sauce to this,
and let it simmer for a few minutes; add a little more water if
necessary.
CURRY SAUCE (2).
1 onion, 1 even teaspoonful of curry, 1/2 pint of water, 1/2 oz. of
butter, 1 teaspoonful of Allinson fine wheatmeal, a little burnt
sugar. Grate the onion into the water, add curry, butter, and salt,
and let these ingredients cook a few minutes. Thicken the sauce with
the meal, and colour with burnt sugar.
CURRY SAUCE (BROWN).
