SPINACH BORDER MOULD.
Prepare the spinach as in recipe for spinach pudding, butter a border
mould, dust it with bread crumbs, and press the spinach mixture into it,
put the mould into a pan of hot water in the oven, cover it to prevent
browning, and bake about twenty minutes.
A FILLING FOR THE CENTER OF MOULD OF SPINACH.
Break two eggs in a bowl, add a little salt and four tablespoonfuls of
cream and beat them slightly. Turn into a buttered tin cup and stand in
a saucepan with a little boiling water in it on the stove, cover and
cook until stiff--about three or four minutes--remove from the fire,
turn out of the mould and cut in half-inch slices and then into stars or
any fancy-shape preferred, or into dice. Make a cream sauce, turn the
spinach mould out on a platter, put a little of the sauce in the center,
then some of the egg stars, then the rest of the sauce, and finish with
the egg stars.
MOCK COD FISH BALLS.
Six medium sized potatoes, washed, peeled and boiled for ten minutes in
salted water. Drain and grate them while hot and stir in two heaping
tablespoonfuls of butter; mix thoroughly. Season with salt, cayenne
pepper to taste, and add a teaspoonful of grated onion and a
saltspoonful of mace. Beat two egg yolks light and stir well into it
with two heaping tablespoonfuls of cracker crumbs. Fry brown in small
balls in boiling fat without crowding them in the basket, drain on
kitchen paper and serve very hot on a platter, garnish with parsley.
MOCK FISH BALLS IN CURRY OR CREAM SAUCE.
Five ounces of plain boiled potatoes put through a patent vegetable
strainer or mashed very fine. Add three ounces of butter and a slightly
heaping tablespoonful of Groult's potato flour, two eggs slightly beaten
and stirred in--a little at a time--a few drops of onion juice and salt
and pepper to taste. Have a saucepan of boiling salted water over the
fire, dip a tablespoon in cold water and then into the mixture and take
out in oblong balls as nicely and uniformly shaped as possible, and drop
them carefully into the boiling water, which must not boil too violently
as the mixture is tender and would cook to pieces. Put them in without
crowding and let them cook three minutes, taking them out one after
another as they are done. Put in a colander to drain while preparing
the curry sauce. Melt in a saucepan a heaping tablespoonful of butter
and add to it a heaping teaspoonful of flour, an even teaspoonful of
curry powder, stir well and add milk until of the consistency of cream
sauce. Put the balls into the sauce and let it come to a boil, remove
from the fire, and add a tablespoonful of good Madeira. Serve on a
platter, garnish with parsley and serve. The curry powder and wine may
be omitted if not liked, and the balls served in plain cream sauce.
