This is made by using sauce Hollandaise and adding to it 1 tablespoon
of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped parsley.
MINT SAUCE
Wash the mint and take 1/2 cup of the leaves; chop them fine, macerate
in a mortar, then cover with 1 cup of hot vinegar, add 1 teaspoon of
sugar, and let stand a few moments before using.
MUSHROOM SAUCE
Make brown sauce and add to it 1/2 can of button mushrooms, halved. Let
heat through before serving.
NUT SAUCES
For these use pignola (pine) nuts, almonds, chestnuts, or any other
sort. Remove the shells, blanch in boiling water to remove the inner
skin, and chop them very fine. Put 1 tablespoon of butter in a frying
pan, and when melted add to it 1 tablespoon of chopped onion, and let
cook for five minutes; then add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts and stir until
brown, scrape the contents of the pan into a mortar, and pound them
well. Blend 1 tablespoon of flour and 1 tablespoon of butter, put in
a saucepan, and when melted and smooth add 1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 of
the nuts; let cook slowly two or three minutes, add another 1/2 cup
of milk and the remaining nuts. Salt well, and add a little pepper;
let cook very slowly, and when the sauce is the proper thickness stir
in 1 tablespoon of thick cream.
The sauce can be darkened with brown colouring, or by browning the
thickening flour in butter.
ONION SAUCE
Chop 4 onions very fine and brown them in 3 tablespoons of butter;
add 1 tablespoon of flour, let this brown also, and thin with 1 cup
of broth or water or milk. Add pepper and salt, and beat 1 egg-yolk
into it before serving. Serve either strained or unstrained.
PARSLEY BUTTER
Put butter in a saucepan, and when melted add finely chopped parsley
and some salt, using 1 teaspoon of parsley to every tablespoon of
butter used. Serve on boiled potatoes, asparagus, etc.
PARSLEY SAUCE
Into 2 cups of white sauce stir 1 beaten egg and 2 tablespoons of
finely chopped parsley.

and cook together slowly ten minutes before serving. Season with salt
and pepper before serving.
PIQUANT SAUCE
Put 4 tablespoons of vinegar in a saucepan with 1 tablespoon
of chopped shallots or onions, and let cook slowly until only 1
tablespoon remains; add to this 1 cup of Spanish sauce, and when at
boiling point put in the sauce 2 teaspoons of minced sour pickles,
1 teaspoon of chopped parsley, and some salt and pepper; serve with
croquettes or vegetables.
SAUCE RAVIGOTE
Ravigote is merely the name applied to the mixture of herbs combined
with flavouring for this sauce. These are chives, cress, burnet and
chervil, in equal proportions. Use 2 tablespoons of the mixed herbs,
scald them in tarragon vinegar, drain them, chop them fine, and add
them to 1 cup of plain mayonnaise.
