MUSHROOM GRAVY
- ¼ lb. chopped mushrooms
- 1 heaping teaspoonful flour
- Salt and pepper
- 1 slice onion
- ½ pint (1 cup) water
- 1 tablespoonful mushroom ketchup
- 1 oz. (1 heaping tablespoonful) butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ teaspoonful meat extract
Fry the mushrooms, onion, and the flour in the butter in a fireproof dish for a few minutes, add the seasonings, meat extract, mushroom ketchup, and the water; boil for eight minutes, stirring occasionally, and serve.
If preferred, the mushrooms can be rubbed through a sieve to press out all the juice; they can then be reheated and served.
