When a piece of cooked smoked ham is at hand it can be made into a delicious dish. Trim the ham, leaving part of the fat on; make it in a nice piece, not too large to fit the casserole; slice in even slices. Then fix vegetables: two cups cut-up carrots, one cup onions, two cups turnips, one pound mushrooms (each cut in four if large). Cook all these together, until well done, with some water, sherry, and salt; strain the juice from the vegetables and add some stock or water if not enough for two cups. Then dissolve three heaping tablespoons flour in one cup of stock; strain this to the hot broth; add pepper and salt to taste and some sherry; color with kitchen bouquet and flavor with some beef extract if at hand. Add the vegetables to the sauce, saving a little of the sauce without vegetables. Put the ham in the dish; pour the vegetables with the sauce all around; put some of the plain sauce on top of the ham that shows out of the dish; put in oven and bake from forty-five minutes to an hour. When done, place the casserole on a paper doily on a platter; garnish with parsley at one side and raise the cover of the casserole at the other. Serve hot for luncheon or dinner as an entree.
