Cooking, German
Preparation: The remnants of boiled codfish are cut in small pieces.
The ⅛ lb. of butter is browned, 2 tablespoonfuls of flour stirred in,
add the bouillon and season with vinegar, onion, pepper-corns and
bay-leaves.
The gravy is cooked slowly ½ hour, seasoned and strained. Add the
fish, reheat but do not boil and serve on a hot platter with potatoes.
No. 34—FRIED SOLE.
Quantity for 6 Persons.
3½ lbs. of fish
Salt, white pepper
1 egg
2 tbsps. of milk
1 cup grated rolls
Juice of 1 lemon
1 onion, sliced thin
¼ lb. of butter for frying
Some flour
Preparation: Skin the fish by running a sharp knife around the tail;
loosen the skin from the meat and pull downward over the head. The
white side is treated the same way, the tail and fins are shortened
and the fish cut into convenient pieces. Every piece is cleaned well,
salted and peppered, the lemon juice dripped on, the slices of onion
placed on top, the pot covered up and the fish left in it to simmer 1½
to 2 hours. ½ hour before serving, each piece is dried, dredged with
flour and dipped into the egg beaten with the milk and salt and then
into roll crumbs.
The butter is heated and in it the pieces of fish are fried to a nice
brown color. Serve it on a hot platter, garnish with lemon slices and
parsley. The drippings may be used as gravy.
No. 35—BAKED SOLE.
Quantity for 6 Persons.
The ingredients and preparations are the same as in the preceding, No.
34. The pieces of fish are put into boiling hot lard deep enough so
they float, and baked to a golden yellow color.
Serve with a mayonnaise or caviar gravy. See Gravies or Dressings.
Remarks: The pieces of fish may be rolled in finely chopped or ground
hazel nuts instead of bread crumbs; this is very fine.
No. 36—BAKED GURNET.

3½ lbs. of fish

1 egg

lengthwise, the bones taken out, salted, seasoned with lemon juice,
dipped into egg beaten with milk and then into flour.

frequently. Serve a butter dressing with it.
