Make the sauce just the same as in preceding recipe, only add the juice
of the oysters to it; strain, and add the oysters themselves. A few
drops of tarragon and Chili vinegar are an improvement, and the juice
of half a lemon. This is a delicate dish, and much liked.
9. Lobster Cutlets.
Well pound the flesh of a good fresh lobster in a mortar (the best
brand of tin lobster will answer as well), mix with it about two ounces
of butter, one small cup of bread crumbs, salt and Nepaul pepper to
taste, the grated rind of a lemon and half a nutmeg grated, mix all
together with two well beaten eggs; form into cutlet shapes, and egg
and bread crumb them, fry a golden brown in boiling fat or butter. Lay
them on a sieve to drain off any fat there may be. Serve neatly on a
dish, and decorate with fried bread and parsley.
10. Oyster Cutlets.
Stew one dozen oysters in their own liquor gently, till tender enough
to chop very small; mix with them one cup of bread crumbs, some grated
nutmeg and lemon peel, salt and pepper to taste; bind all together
with a well-beaten egg or two, form into cutlets, and fry in butter a
pale yellow; drain on a sieve. Serve with fried sippets of bread and
parsley round them. These are very delicious and simple.
11. Oysters Fried on Toast.
Take as many oysters as you need, dip each into well beaten egg, and
then into bread crumbs, fry in butter a golden colour, sprinkle with
pepper and salt.
Have ready as many pieces of fried bread, cut out with a round cutter,
as you have oysters, lay an oyster on each; garnish the top with a
sprinkling of chopped green parsley and a piece or two of lemon cut in
dice shape.
12. Irish Cutlets.
Remove the skin and bone from any cold fish you may have remaining;
well pound the flesh in a mortar; add one cup of bread crumbs, salt
and Nepaul pepper to taste, a teaspoon of chopped onion, a teaspoon
of chopped parsley, mix all well together with one or two well beaten
eggs, shape into cutlets, sausages, or rounds, and fry a pale golden
colour.
Serve neatly garnished with parsley, and slices of lemon on a stand of
potato.
13. Smoked Haddock Croquets.
Get a good sized smoked haddock, put it in the oven a few minutes, pick
out all bones and skin, pound the flesh in a mortar, add one teaspoon
chopped onion, one teaspoon of herbs as for veal stuffing, the grated
rind of half a lemon, pepper and salt to taste, one tea-cup of fine
bread crumbs; mix well, bind all with one or two well beaten eggs, form
into croquets, egg and bread crumb them, fry in butter a delicate gold
colour. Serve round a wall of mashed potatoes; garnish with parsley and
fried bread.
14. Baked Fish.
