Dr. Allinson's cookery book, comprising many valuable vegetarian recipes
Allinson, T. R. (Thomas Richard)
Vegetarian cooking
1/2 pint of oil, the yolk of 1 egg, the juice of a lemon, 1/2
teaspoonful each of mustard, pepper, and salt. Place the yolks in a
basin, which should be quite cold; work them smooth with a wooden
spoon, add the salt, pepper, and mustard, and mix all well. Stir in
the oil very gradually, drop by drop; when the sauce begins to thicken
stir in a little of the lemon juice, continue with the oil, and so on
alternately until the sauce is finished. Be sure to make it in a cool
place, also to stir one way only. It you follow directions the sauce
may curdle; should this ever happen, do not waste the curdled sauce,
but start afresh with a fresh yolk of egg, stirring in a little fresh
oil first, and then adding the curdled mixture.
MILK FROTH SAUCE.
1/2 pint of milk, 2 eggs, sugar to taste, some essence of vanilla or
any other flavouring, 1 teaspoonful of Allinson fine wheatmeal. Mix
the milk, eggs, flour, and flavouring, and proceed as in "Orange Froth
Sauce."
MINT SAUCE.
1 teacupful of vinegar, 1 teacupful of water, 1 tablespoonful of
sugar, 1 heaped-up tablespoonful of finely chopped mint. Mix all the
ingredients well, and let the sauce soak at least 1 hour before
serving.
MUSTARD SAUCE.
1 good teaspoonful of mustard, 1 dessertspoonful of Allinson fine
wheatmeal, 1 oz. of butter, vinegar and salt to taste, 1 teaspoonful
of sugar, 1/2 pint of water. Brown the wheatmeal with the butter in
the saucepan, add the mustard, vinegar, sugar, and salt, let all
simmer for a few minutes, and then serve.
OLIVE SAUCE.
Make a white sauce, stone and chop 8 Spanish olives, add them to the
sauce, and let it cook a few minutes before serving.
ONION SAUCE.
1 large Spanish onion, 1/2 pint of milk, 1 gill of water, 4 oz. of
butter, 1 dessertspoonful of Allinson fine wheatmeal, pepper and salt
to taste. Chop the onions up fine, and cook them in the water until
tender, add the milk, butter and seasoning. Smooth the meal with a
little water, thicken the sauce, let it simmer for five minutes, and
serve.
ORANGE FLOWER SAUCE
Make a sweet white sauce, and flavour it with 2 tablespoonfuls of
orangeflower water.
ORANGE FROTH SAUCE.
The juice of 2 oranges, 2 eggs, sugar to taste, 1 teaspoonful of white
flour (not cornflour), add to the orange juice enough water to make
1/2 pint of liquid; mix this well with the sugar, the eggs previously
beaten, and the flour smoothed with a very little water; put the
mixture over the fire in an enamelled saucepan, and whisk it well
until quite frothy; do not allow the sauce to boil, as it would then
be spoiled. Serve immediately.
ORANGE SAUCE
2 oranges, 4 large lumps of sugar, 1/2 a teaspoonful of cornflour,
some water. Rub the sugar on the rind of one of the oranges until all
the yellow part is taken off; take the juice of both the oranges and
add it to the sugar. Mix smooth the cornflour in 8 tablespoonfuls of
water, add this to the juice when hot, and stir the sauce over the
fire until thickened; serve at once.
