A year's cookery

Dinner. — Fillets of Sole Sautes (January 4th) ; Maitre d’Hotel Sauce (May 6th). Veal Stew Piquante. — Cut the veal into neat pieces about an inch square. Peel, slice, and flour the cucumber, and shred the lettuce finely. Season the veal with pepper and salt, flour it well, and fry it in a little butter or clarified dripping until it is lightly browned. Fry with it the cucumber and the lettuce, and turn the ingredients over in the pan to keep them from burning. Put them into a saucepan, pour boiling stock or water over to barely cover them, and simmer very gently indeed for an hour, or till the veal is tender. Add a few drops of lemon-juice, and serve very hot. When they are in season, a pint of freshly-shelled green peas stewed with the meat is an improvement.

Rice Gateau. — Take four ounces of best Carolina rice and wash it well ; if this is done it will not be so likely to burn. Put it in a saucepan with as much water as will cover it, bring it to the boil, and simmer it gently till the water is absorbed, then pour upon it a pint of milk, throw in the thinly-cut rind of half a lemon, add a lump of butter, and simmer gently till the rice is quite soft. Put it in a basin, and take out the Jemon-rind. Beat the rice well with the back of a wooden spoon, sweeten it, and let it go cold. Break two eggs, and put the whites on a separate dish. Stir the yolks unbeaten into the rice.
