Make a nice brown sauce as recipe No. 14. Add to it some turned olives,
and some nice button mushrooms. Garnish the dish with fried sippets of
bread and chopped green parsley.
22. Mushrooms on Toast.
Well pick and clean some mushrooms, fry in about four ounces of butter,
with pepper and salt to taste. Cook till the mushrooms get quite black.
Serve on neatly cut pieces of toast; heap them one on the other, and
garnish with tufts of parsley.
23. Celery Stew.
Cut up some nice tender stalks of celery into three-inch pieces,
parboil in milk, then put it into a sauce as recipe No. 1, and finish
cooking thus--add the grated rind of half a lemon, the grate of a
nutmeg, Nepaul pepper and salt to taste. Lay this on nicely trimmed
slices of toast, and serve. The celery may be stewed in a brown sauce,
as per recipe No. 14, instead of the white; it is nice either way.
24. Sea-Kale Stew.
Serve the same as celery, or plain boil, and pour over a good white
butter sauce, in which a little cream has been mixed, to make it extra
rich.
25. Stewed Green Peas.
Shell your peas, and put them into a jar. Add two ounces of butter, a
little pepper and salt, and one saltspoon of sugar; cover close, and
put into the oven to cook in their own steam. When quite done, turn
out into a dish, pour over them a good brown sauce, as No. 14, add a
teaspoon of chopped green mint, and serve.
26. Stewed French Beans.
Get some tender French beans, cut them in two or three pieces each
across, _not_ lengthways, cook the same as peas in a jar, omitting the
sugar. Turn out on a dish, and pour over them a brown parsley sauce, as
recipe No. 18.
27. French Beans on Toast.
Get some very young French beans, put them in whole in a jar, with
butter, pepper and salt, and a mite of soda to preserve the colour.
Cook them as in previous recipe. Turn them out when done, and lay on
neatly cut slices of well buttered toast. Sprinkle over with pepper and
salt, and serve very hot.
28. Stewed Broad Beans.
Well boil some broad beans in salt and water; take off the skins, and
pour over the beans a parsley and butter sauce, as recipe No. 3. These
may be served on toast, and thus make a substantial dish, and very nice.
29. Jerusalem Artichokes on Toast.
Peel very carefully and trim nicely; throw them into cold water as
you peel them, or they will get discoloured. Boil in salt and water
till quite soft; drain; mash them with a fork till quite smooth, with
butter, pepper and salt. Put the artichokes thickly on nicely cut
pieces of buttered toast, and sprinkle with pepper and salt, and serve.
This is simply delicious, though simple.
30. Egg Plant Savoury.
