=Potage Gourmet.=--Pour into a saucepan about a quart of the water in
which potatoes have been boiled, add a small amount of cold chicken cut
in small dice, two tablespoonfuls of boiled rice, two tablespoonfuls of
cooked green peas and one truffle cut into dice, also pepper and salt,
along with one or two whole cloves. Bring to a boil, allow to simmer for
fifteen minutes, and serve.
=Eglefin à la Maître d'Hôtel.=--Cut a cleaned haddock open at the back
on each side of the bone, dust with pepper and salt, dip in flour,
place on a gridiron over a clear fire and cook for about twenty minutes,
turning carefully from time to time. Remove from the fire, place two
ounces of butter on the back of the fish, place it in the oven to melt
the butter, then, put the fish on a hot platter and sprinkle with mince
parsley and lemon juice, the latter heated.
=Pommes de Terre, Casserole.=--Boil a pound or two of potatoes, drain
and mash and make into a stiff paste by adding butter and milk together
with a little salt. Form into a casserole, put on a dish, make an
opening in the top, brown in the oven and serve.
=Salade de Tomates et Laitue.=--Split the white leaves of lettuce into
quarters and place in a bowl. Cut tomatoes into thin slices and place
over the lettuce. Season with a sauce made of one part of vinegar, two
of oil, a little salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over just before
serving.
=Canards Sauvages, Sauce Orange.=--Roast two wild ducks over a brisk
fire, having them underdone, more or less, according to taste. Baste
all the time they are cooking with butter and the juice of lemon and
serve with the following sauce. Shred finely the rind of two oranges and
parboil in a little water. Melt an ounce of butter and stir into it a
dessertspoonful of flour moistened with a little water. Stir well over
the fire and then add the juice of the two oranges, some very clear
gravy, flavor with pepper and salt and cayenne, then add the parboiled
orange rind. Let the sauce boil and keep hot till wanted.
=Soufflé au Citron.=--Put three egg yolks and three ounces of powdered
sugar into a basin with the grated rind of a lemon and a half and stir
till quite thick. Add slowly a tablespoonful of lemon juice and then,
quickly, the well beaten whites of the three eggs. Pour into a pie dish
and bake in a medium oven for twenty minutes. When the surface is a
golden brown it is done. Serve immediately.
