Here are the recipes for some of the dishes. The jardinière soup and
the braised mutton were one dish divided into two parts, and were
cooked on the previous day. We give the recipe for both dishes in one.
_Braised Leg of Mutton._—Take a large lettuce, two carrots, one turnip,
two onions, two tomatoes, a blade of mace, two bay-leaves, a small
piece of cinnamon, a teaspoonful of celery seed tied in muslin, a
dessertspoonful of salt, and twelve peppercorns. Wash and slice the
vegetables and arrange them in layers with the herbs and spices at the
bottom of a large fish-kettle. Lay the leg of mutton on this bed of
vegetables and pour two quarts of water over. Put on the lid and set
the fish-kettle by the side of the stove for seven hours, turning the
meat over when half done and basting it with the liquor from time to
time. Do not let it boil. Remove the leg of mutton without sticking a
fork in it, put it on a dish and let it get cold. Strain off the liquor
in which the mutton was cooked into a basin, and when it cools skim off
the fat. Shred a few slices of carrot, onion, and turnip and cook them
separately. Re-heat the liquor and add them when it is hot. Serve the
liquor and the freshly-cooked vegetables as jardinière soup, and the
leg of mutton cold with a salad.
_Hash with Piquante Sauce._—Slice an onion and put it in a small
saucepan with two tablespoonfuls of vinegar and one of mushroom
ketchup; put on the lid and simmer by the side of the stove until the
onion is tender; pour in half a pint of stock and half a teaspoonful
of salt; thicken with an ounce of brown thickening, add a teaspoonful
of red currant jelly and one of chutney; put in a sufficient number of
slices of cold meat and let them heat gently for an hour in the sauce.
Serve very hot.
_Cucumber Sauce for Boiled Chicken._—Pare and slice a large cucumber
and remove the seeds; cook until tender in a pint of milk with a pinch
of salt and four white peppercorns, and then rub through a hair sieve.
Return to the saucepan, add a piece of butter rubbed in as much flour
as it will take up, and stir until it boils.
_Curd Cheesecakes._—Line some patty pans with good flaky pastry. Boil
half a pint of milk with two ounces of castor sugar. Drain away the
whey and beat the curd in a basin with three large eggs and an ounce
of butter. Put some currants in each patty pan and a spoonful of the
mixture on the top; bake twenty minutes in a good oven. The whey can be
used to flavour custards.
