Tomato Sauce.
- Ingredients—6 ripe tomatoes.
- ¼ lb. of bacon.
- 1 oz. of flour.
- A piece of carrot, turnip, and onion.
- A sprig of parsley.
- Thyme, marjoram, and a bay leaf.
- A teaspoonful of vinegar.
- Pepper and salt.
Method.—Cut the bacon in slices and fry it.
Then put in the vegetables and fry them, dredge in the flour, and then add the tomatoes and fry them lightly.
Empty the contents of the frying-pan on a hair sieve, and rub the tomatoes through. The hair sieve will keep back the other vegetable, the flavour of which only is wanted.
