Salted salmon belly, melted butter. Soak a salted salmon belly in cold water over night. Then place in vessel and cover with fresh cold water, bring to a boil, and then set at side of the range for twenty minutes. Dish up on a napkin on a platter, garnish with parsley in branches and quartered lemons. Serve melted butter separate.
Shirred eggs, Monaco. Put six chopped shallots in a casserole with one ounce of butter. Heat slightly, then add six sliced fresh mushrooms and one peeled and sliced tomato; season with salt and pepper, and simmer for ten minutes. Butter four individual shirred egg dishes, pour in the above preparation, break two eggs in each, season with salt and pepper, and cook in oven for five minutes.
Cream fritters. Mix two ounces of corn starch, four ounces of sugar, the yolks of four eggs, and half of the peel of a lemon, and warm up in a double boiler. Bring one-half pint of milk to the boiling point and add it to the mixture. Continue boiling, and stir all the time until it becomes thick. Then spread it on a platter about a half inch thick, and allow to become cold. Cut in pieces about two inches square, roll in flour, then in beaten eggs, and finally in bread crumbs, and fry in swimming lard, or in frying pan with plenty of melted butter. Dress on a napkin, and serve vanilla cream sauce separate.
Sorrel soup, à l'eau. Clean one pound of sorrel, wash well, and slice very thin. Put in casserole with two ounces of butter, cover, and simmer for five minutes. Then add two quarts of water, season with salt and pepper, add three sliced rolls, or one-half loaf of sliced French bread, and boil slowly for one hour. Put the yolks of three eggs in a large cup and fill with cream, mix, and let it run into the boiling soup. Serve at once.
