Pillau. Time—2½ hours.
1 lb. mutton, 3 tomatoes, 1 teacupful rice, 1 quart water; salt to taste.
Cut up some pieces of raw fat mutton, add a little water, cover the stew-pan, and place on a slow fire. The meat must consume the water and stew till it becomes a light brown colour. Wash the tomatoes, put them into a stew-pan without water, and stew them soft over a slow fire. Strain the pulp through a sieve and add sufficient water to make 1½ pint of liquor. This must be thrown into the stew-pan over the mutton; add salt and boil it up. Wash and dry the rice well, throw it into the stew-pan, let it boil 5 minutes, and then simmer ½ hour.
Poor Man’s Goose. Time—1½ hour.
4 lbs. bola. Stuffing.—1 onion, 1 teaspoonful sage, a small piece of soaked bread, 1 oz. suet; pepper and salt to taste.
Make holes in the meat with a skewer, and fill them up with the stuffing, made as follows: Chop the suet and onion fine, squeeze the bread dry, and mix all together with the sage, pepper and salt. Flour the meat and roast it (see p. 19). Serve with baked potatoes.
Sausage Rolls. Time—1 hour.
4 sausages, ½ lb. flour, ¼ lb. dripping, 1 egg.
