Cooking, German
1¾ lbs. of pickerel or codfish
2 tbsps. of butter
1 scant tbsp. of flour
1 small onion
1 pt. thick cream
2 yolks of eggs
1 tsp. of mustard
2 tbsps. of vinegar
1 tbsp. of salad oil
Salt
1 pinch of white pepper
1 tbsp. of capers
Preparation: The boiled fish is cut up into nice pieces. The butter is
melted, the peeled whole onion fried light yellow in it, then taken
out. Stir in the flour, add the cream and cook 5 minutes. The 2 yolks
are stirred in, but the gravy must not cook any more, cool it and
season with salt, mustard, pepper, capers, vinegar and salad oil. Pour
the gravy over the fish.
No. 22—BAKED RED SNAPPER.
Quantity for 6 Persons.
3½ lbs. of red snapper
Salt
1 beaten egg
Some flour
1 cup of rolled crackers
¼ lb. of butter
Preparation: The fish is dressed, washed, dried and rubbed with a
little salt. It is then dredged with flour, dipped into the beaten egg
and cracker crumbs. The butter is heated and put on the fish, then
baked in the oven for ½ hour until a nice brown. Serve a parsley gravy
with it.
No. 23—PICKEREL OR WHITEFISH WITH SAUERKRAUT.
Quantity for 6 Persons.
1 lb. boiled pickerel or whitefish
1 lb. boiled sauerkraut
1 egg
1 large piece of butter
¾ pt. of cream
Some salt
Preparation: A baking dish or casserole is buttered and filled with
layers of sauerkraut and fish alternating. The bones must have been
removed and the fish cut into nice pieces. There should be 3 layers of
sauerkraut and 2 layers of fish. After the dish is filled, stir the
cream with some salt and pour over the whole. Put a little butter on
top and bake in oven for 45 minutes.
No. 24—BOILED TURBOT.
Quantity for 6 Persons.
3½ lbs. of fish
Salt
½ qt. of wine vinegar
Preparation: The turbot is drawn by making a cut across the dark side
below the gills, then rub it with salt until all slime is gone. After
washing it, pour ½ qt. of vinegar on and let it stand for ½ hour. Run
the knife along the spine on the black side and slit the white side in
several places to prevent the skin from bursting while cooking. Fins
and tail are shortened. Put plenty of salt water into the fish kettle,
put the fish in, white side up, and cook slowly for 5 minutes, then
set aside to simmer for ½ hour. Do not cover up the kettle. When
serving, the white side should be up and garnish the platter with any
kind of lettuce or salad i.e., cucumber salad, head lettuce or
endive. Place lemon slices on the fish or small boiled crabs. Serve
with a butter gravy or creamed butter and potato balls.
