Rice Croquettes.
Boil a cup of rice soft; work into it, while hot, a tablespoonful of butter, one of grated cheese, pepper, salt, and a beaten egg. Spread out to cool. Chop the boiled giblets of your chicken fine with a slice or so of your cold beef, wet with a little gravy, but not too soft. Make the cold rice into square, flat cakes. Lay in the centre of each a teaspoonful of the mince. Close the cakes so as to have this in the middle; mould into oval balls; dip in beaten egg; then, roll in cracker-crumbs and grated cheese, and fry in good dripping, or lard. Drain well, and heap upon a hot dish.
