=Côtelettes de Saumon, Anglaise.=--Divide slices of salmon into shape of
cutlets, sprinkle with pepper and salt and put into a saucepan with a
small amount of butter and toss over the fire. When cooked take out and
drain, place on a hot dish and serve with the following sauce: Put three
tablespoonfuls of velouté sauce into a saucepan, reduce slightly and add
one egg, four ounces of butter, a little salt, cayenne, some finely
minced parsley and the juice of half a lemon. Mix together well over
the fire till the ingredients are blended and it is ready.
=Pommes de Terre, Marquise.=--Boil potatoes in salted water and pass
through a sieve. Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg, chopped parsley and a
little chopped thyme. Moisten with some good gravy or stock and form
into small balls. Dip each in well beaten egg and fry to a light brown
in butter.
=Petits Pois à la Paysanne.=--Take fresh green peas, or canned ones if
the former are not available, put over the fire in a saucepan with
plenty of butter and stir frequently. Cut one or two rashers of bacon in
very small dice and toss them in a saucepan over the fire. When the
bacon is well fried, mix in with the peas and let the two finish cooking
together, seasoning with pepper, salt and a little sugar.
=Salade Américaine.=--Cut in rounds resembling a quarter-dollar equal
quantities of new potatoes, carrots and beet root, all previously
cooked. Then add a sour apple, cut in the same shape, and a few
anchovies cut in small pieces. Pour over this a dressing of three parts
oil to one of vinegar, add pepper, salt, mustard and chopped parsley.
Pile the salad up and surround with cress.
=Choux au Chocolat.=--Into a small saucepan put half a cup of water with
two ounces of butter and one of sugar. When boiling add gradually two
and a half ounces of finely sifted flour and stir till the mixture is
stiff. Take from the fire, stir some more, then add two eggs, one at a
time, beat the whole well, and leave to cool. Butter a baking sheet, lay
the paste on it in round balls the size of a plum and bake in a moderate
oven for about twenty minutes. Allow to cool and then make an incision
in the side of each and fill with whipped cream slightly flavored with
vanilla or with jam. Just before serving glaze each chou slightly with a
chocolate icing.
