SAUCE, Italian (Brown).
Ingredients.—A few chopped mushrooms and shalots, ½ pint of stock, ½ glass of Madeira, the juice of ½ lemon, ½ teaspoonful of pounded sugar, 1 teaspoonful of chopped parsley. Mode.—Put the stock into a stewpan with the mushrooms, shalots, and Madeira, and stew gently for ¼ hour, then add the remaining ingredients, and let them just boil. When the sauce is done enough, put it in another stewpan, and warm it in a bain marie. The mushrooms should not be chopped long before they are wanted, as they will then become black. Time.—¼ hour. Average cost, for this quantity, 7d. Sufficient for a small dish.
