pan; one small finely chopped onion and a small piece
of carrot; a little thyme, whole pepper. Trim close,
let brown slightly, stir in slowly one tablespoonful of
flour, then add one-half cupful of sherry wine and one
and a half cupfuls of bouillon✪ A Good Mushroom Sauce. Stir in a spoonful of
the bottled mushroom sauce and let simmer slowly for
half an hour. This is nice to serve with mushrooms
and sweetbreads. After the sweetbreads have been
parboiled, cut them up with equal quantity of mush-
rooms; fry them in butter in a granite pan, and just
before taking from the fire, pour over the sauce which
