The remains of a cold roast duck are suitable for a most excellent
devil. To make it you must remove the bones and cut the meat into
rather small pieces, but not too small. (This is better made in a small
enamelled saucepan.) Take a tablespoonful of dry mustard, a teaspoonful
of salt, a little cayenne, and two tablespoonfuls of lemon-juice. Mix
these ingredients gradually and very thoroughly together, and add two
tablespoonfuls of butter melted, and two tablespoonfuls of water. When
this gets hot, put in the pieces of duck and also a gill of some white
wine—Sauterne—or even a light claret, or, if you do not like wine, use
a gill of good stock instead. Place the saucepan over the fire and stir
it carefully till smoking hot, then turn it on to a hot-water dish, if
you have it, and serve as hot as possible.
Now, the next dish that occurs to me is devilled kidneys. For a large
dish, twelve sheep’s kidneys will be required; but, of course, you
must be guided by the number of people for whom you are catering. Cut
the kidneys in half, remove the centres and white tubes, and then
scald them, removing also the skin. Put two ounces of butter into an
enamelled saucepan; and, when it is hot, throw in the kidneys and cook
them quickly. Dust them over with salt and white pepper, and then
pour over them a tablespoonful of onion juice, one of Worcestershire
sauce, and four teaspoonfuls of light sherry. Serve smoking hot, and,
if possible, in a hot-water dish, for I hope you understand that
everything in this way must be served and kept hot while at table.
Sardines may be either grilled or devilled. If the former, scrape them
free from skin and oil, and wipe them in a clean cloth. Oil a little
butter and roll them in it, powder them with cayenne pepper and salt,
and cover them with some finely-chopped parsley and chopped mushrooms.
Wrap each sardine in oiled paper, and put in the oven till hot; and
serve in the same papers in which they were cooked without unfolding
them, and lay each on a slice of toast.
_Devilled Sardines_ are done in quite the same way. To begin with,
they are scraped and wiped, and rolled in a mixture of mustard,
Worcestershire sauce, anchovy sauce (be sure to shake both the
bottles), and four tablespoonfuls of melted butter, and lay each on a
slice of toast in the oven, and serve very hot. It should not take more
than five minutes to cook them in a very quick oven.
Eggs devilled with anchovy toast is another good supper dish. You
must first put a little butter in the frying-pan, and afterwards a
mixture of half a teaspoonful of dry mustard, two tablespoonfuls of
tomato sauce, one of Worcester sauce, and one of mushroom ketchup.
Put into this four hard-boiled eggs, sliced, salted and peppered, and
when heated through, place the egg on toasts which you have previously
spread with anchovy paste.
