Macaroni Rissoles. — Take jib. of Macaroni, selecting long pieces, and roll them up in a cloth, allowing room to swell and to keep their ends open and clear ; place it in a long pan, and boil in salted water for twenty-five minutes ; take out, and let it cool. In the meantime, chop 3oz. of Parmesan cheese very small, and mix it with joz. of butter and 2 table-spoonfuls of milk ; put this in a frying-pan to melt, but without boiling. Take each piece of Macaroni (there should be from eight to ten pieces) out separately, dip them in the melted cheese, covering well, then into egg beaten in a little water, and lastly into dried breadcrumbs ; plunge them into a frying-pan containing boiling lard, and fry until done to a light brown. Take them out, cut each one into lengths of about 2 jin., put them on a dish, garnish with a border of grated Parmesan cheese, or with a little tomato sauce poured round, and serve very hot. Macaroni Salad. — Put jib. of Macaroni into a saucepan containing boiling water, with a lump of salt and some peppercorns, and boil for twenty minutes. When cooked, drain the Macaroni, taking care not to break it, and leave till cold. Thoroughly clean 2 bleached heads of endive, and let them macerate in oil and vinegar seasoned with salt and pepper. Put the endive in the middle of a flat dish, arrange the stems of Macaroni round it, and pour over some remoula.de sauce. Garnish with slices of hard- boiled eggs and raw tomatoes, also with strips of cold meat, and serve. Macaroni — continued. Macaroni and Salmon. — Boil jib. of Macaroni till tender in milk-and-water (more milk than water) and the liquor out of a tin of salmon. Grease a pie-dish, and lay the pieces of salmon out of the tin in it ; when the Macaroni is tender, turn it over the salmon. Sprinkle sifted breadcrumbs on the top, place small bits of butter here and there, put the dish in the oven, and bake for twenty minutes. Macaroni-and-Sausage Pie. — Break jib. of Macaroni into convenient lengths, put them in a stewpan with common stock to cover, and boil till tender. Cut lib. of sausages in halves lengthwise, and scoop out all the meat. When the Macaroni is cooked, drain, place a layer of it in a pie- dish, next a layer of the sausage-meat, dust with salt and pepper, and strew over finely-chopped parsley ; then put in another layer of Macaroni, and so on until all is used, seasoning each layer of meat as before. Pour in 1 tea- cupful of clear broth, cover the pie with a light pastry crust, trimming off evenly round the edges, and bake for lialf-an-hour. Serve the pie hot. Macaroni Souffle. — Have ready a saucepan containing boil- ing salted water, and throw into it 2oz. of fine Macaroni broken into convenient lengths. In twenty minutes’ time drain off all the water, and put in with the Macaroni a piece of cinnamon, loaf sugar to taste, and j pint of milk. Boil gently until dry, then remove the cinnamon. When the Macaroni is cold, stir in the beaten yolks of four and the well-whisked whites of six eggs. Pour the mixture into a mould, leaving a clear 2in. space at the top, dredge over with caster sugar, and bake in a brisk oven. When well risen and lightly browned, dust caster sugar over the souffle, and serve at once in the mould. Macaroni Rissoles
