Boil some macaroni, cut it into short lengths of about two inches long,
well beat up three eggs. Mix with them one teaspoon of chopped onion,
one teaspoon of herbs as for veal stuffing, one teaspoon of chopped
parsley, Nepaul pepper and salt to taste. Mix it thoroughly with one
cup of milk, and stir it well into the macaroni. Pour it into a pie
dish, put a few dabs of butter over the top here and there, and bake a
nice brown.
N.B.--Vermicelli answers all the same purpose as macaroni. Some like it
better and think it more delicate; both are cheap and nutritious, and
both are capable of manipulation in a great many ways.
_VEGETABLES IN VARIOUS WAYS._
1. Potato Baskets.
Get some nice long kidney potatoes, peel them very thin, cut them in
half, then cut off a small piece at each end, so that the potato will
stand like a cup, scoop out the inside neatly, leaving a thin wall of
potato. Make it nice and smooth outside and in. Fry these in a bath of
boiling fat a nice golden brown. Now take them out and stand them up
like cups, fill each one with a farce of fish, or lentils, or mushrooms
as desired, and sprinkle over the top some chopped parsley. This is a
novel and pretty dish.
2. Potato Balls.
Boil some potatoes, pass them through a sieve. Mix with them some
butter, pepper and salt, form into good sized balls with the hand, put
them on a buttered tin, brush over them a well beaten egg, and put them
in the oven till they are a nice brown colour.
3. Mashed Potatoes.
Mash some potatoes with butter, pepper and salt. Now well grease a
plain pudding mould, fill your potatoes into it to get moulded, warm
one minute, and turn out on to a dish, brush it over with well beaten
egg, and then well sprinkle with fine bread crumbs, put on little dabs
of butter all over it, and bake in the oven a bright golden colour.
Garnish with parsley.
4. Potato Snow.
Boil some potatoes, mash them with butter, pepper and salt, pass them
through a wire sieve in the dish in which they are to be served. They
must not be disturbed afterwards, as the light look would be gone, and
so the dish get spoiled.
5. Potato Rings.
Well wash and thinly peel some nice large potatoes, cut them in slices,
then take a nice cutter and stamp them out quite round, and then a
smaller cutter to stamp out the centre so as to form a ring. Fry these
rings a golden brown in a bath of fat, drain them in a sieve. Serve
neatly dished and garnished with parsley. The centres need not be
wasted, but fried for another dish.
6. Potato Pie.
