JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE PURÉE
Boil 1 quart of artichokes as already directed, drain, mash and press through a fine sieve, and stir in 2 tablespoons of melted butter; then stir over a low fire until the moisture is exhausted. Remove from the fire, and when cold add 4 eggs which have been well beaten, beating them briskly, and adding them slowly to the purée; also beat in 1 tablespoon of whipped cream. When thoroughly mixed and light from much beating put into a large mould, or into individual moulds, and steam or poach with water half-way up the mould, and turn out and serve with some good sauce, tomato or Hollandaise preferred, or the sauce described as being made with the water in which the artichokes were boiled can be used; to it should be added 1 teaspoon of finely chopped parsley.
