OILED SHEEP'S KIDNEYS~--To broil sheep's kidneys cut them open, put
them on small skewers. Season with salt and pepper and broil. When done
serve with shallot or maitre d'hotel sauce.
~BRUNSWICK STEW~--Cut up one chicken, preferably a good fat hen, cover
with cold water, season with salt and pepper, and cook slowly until
about half done. Add six ears of green corn, splitting through the
kernels, one pint butter beans and six large tomatoes chopped fine. A
little onion may be added if desired. Cook until the vegetables are
thoroughly done, but very slowly, so as to avoid burning. Add strips of
pastry for dumplings and cook five minutes. Fresh pork can be used in
place of the chicken and canned vegetables instead of the fresh.
~CALVES' TONGUES~--Wash and put into a saucepan with half a dozen slices
of carrot, an onion sliced, five cloves, a teaspoon of whole
peppercorns, and half a level tablespoon of salt. Cover with boiling
water and simmer until tender. Drain and cool a little, then take off
the skin. Drop back into the hot liquid to reheat. Serve with a sauce.
Melt one-quarter cup of butter, add three slightly rounding tablespoons
of flour, stir and cook until browned, add two cups of broth, brown
stock of rich gravy melted in hot water, one-half level teaspoon of
salt, the same of paprika, a saltspoon of allspice, one tablespoon of
vinegar, a few grains of cayenne, and half a tablespoon of capers. Pour
over the tongues and serve.
~CORNED BEEF HASH~--To two cups of chopped cold corned beef, add two
cups of chopped cold boiled potatoes. Heat three tablespoons of bacon
fat in a frying pan and add the meat and potato, add pepper and salt, if
necessary, and moisten with water. Cook slowly until a nice brown
underneath. Roll from the pan on to a hot platter. Garnish with parsley
and serve with pickled beets.
~ENGLISH POT ROAST~--Cut one pound of cold roast into two-inch pieces,
slice four good sized potatoes thin, also one onion, into a deep dish,
put a layer of the beef, one of potatoes, one of onions, salt and
pepper, another layer of meat, potatoes and onions, season again, add
one cup gravy, and over all put a thick layer of potatoes. Bake three
hours--the longer and slower the better.
~FRANKFORT SAUSAGE~--For this use any part of the pig, but equal
quantities of lean and fat. Mince fine, season with ground coriander
seed, salt, pepper, and a small quantity of nutmeg. Have ready skins,
well cleaned
