How to Cook in Casserole Dishes

by Marion Harris Neil

FINNAN HADDIE

• 1 medium sized finnan haddie
• 2 ozs. (2 heaping tablespoonfuls) butter
• Salt and pepper

Select a well-cured medium sized fish. If not well cured it will probably be tasteless and flabby. Wash it well, trim off the fins, the tail, and the two bones at the head.

Lay it in a buttered casserole, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, pour in enough boiling water to cover it, and allow it to simmer for ten minutes.

Drain it from the water, return it to the casserole with the butter, and cook it for ten minutes in the oven.

See that it is thoroughly cooked, but not hardened.
