OLIVES OF CALF’S HEAD.

Parboil the half of a calf’s head with the tongue and brains,
and cut even, thin slices from the thickest part of the head, and
lengthwise slices from the tongue. Make a stuffing of minced
ham, savory herbs, and pepper and salt. Brush the slices
with the beaten yolk of an egg, and spread your stuffing equally
over them. Kofi them firmly into shape, and tie them securely
with twine. Lay the olives as closely together as possible in a
stew-pan which will just hold them, and stew them very slowly
for an hour and a half, with sufficient good stock to nearly cover
them, and slices of fat bacon over them. When done, arrange
them neatly on a dish with either brown mushroom sauce or the
following : Take some strong beef stock, and thicken it with a
little butter and flour kneaded together, and two tablespoonfuls
of bread crumbs which have been soaked with a little cold new

CHICKEN A L’lTALIENNE Cut the remains of cold chicken (or turkey)
into pieces about an inch long and marinate them in a bowl containing one tablespoonful
of Sierra Madre oil, one teaspoonful of tarragon vinegar or lemon juice, a few drops of
onion juice, salt and pepper. At the end of half an hour sprinkle with finely chopped
parsley, dip them in fritter batter and fry in boiling lard. Drain on a brown paper, and
serve with or without an Italian sauce.

In some parts of Italy this dish is made of several kinds of cold meats, poultry, game,
brains, etc. (the greater the variety the better), served on the same platter, and in Spain
all kinds of cold vegetables are fried in batter and served together.

PIGEON A LA CREOLE Clean and wipe dry three pigeons and cut each
into four pieces. Marinate them in half a cupful of Sierra Madre olive oil for fifteen
minutes. Drain off the oil into a frying-pan. Chop one onion, one clove of garlic (if
liked), a green pepper ( seeds removed ) and a tablespoonful of parsley. Fry in the oil
until transparent, and then add the pigeons and sear them all over. Put all of this in
a casserole with a can of tomatoes, salt, Paprika and cayenne to taste, one table-
spoonful of finely minced salt pork, half a cupful of sliced olives and a pint of good
stock. Cover tightly and simmer in the oven an hour and a half. Five
minutes before serving moisten a tablespoonful of browned flour with a little
of the gravy, stir into the stew, and when it thickens sprinkle with Par-
mesan cheese, garnish with croutons and serve in the same dishes.

SPANISH FRICO Half boil enough potatoes to make when sliced one and
one-half pints. Line the bottom of a mold with these, cover with minced onions, then
with rolled cracker ; add small squares of lean beef one -half of an inch thick, cut from
the round, and on each piece place a lump of butter, first seasoning the beef with salt
and pepper. Repeat the layers until the potatoes and two pounds of steak have been used,
finishing with the potatoes. Then add one pint of sweet cream, which should just come” 1
to the top without covering the last layer. Put the lid on the mold and steam two and
a half hours.

ESTOFADO DE CORDERO Put six mutton chops in a large frying-pan
with one tablespoonful of color ( or lard ), one tablespoonful of vinegar, salt, chopped
parsley, thyme, cayenne pepper, four whole potatoes, six small onions and one-half pint
of water. Cook over a slow fire about twenty minutes. Thicken with flour, and serve.

PEANUT BISQUE Remove the brown skin from one pint of peanuts ; chop
very fine, add one quart of veal or chicken stock and simmer until tender. Rub
through a puree sieve, adding a little milk from time to time. Season with salt and
pepper, and add enough beet juice or pink coloring paste to give a good tint. Serve
with peanut crackers which have been toasted in the oven.

HINDUSTANI CHICKEN BROTH (For Invalids) Cut up an old fowl
and simmer gently with three pints of water, one sliced onion, bunch of parsley, two
cloves, one pepper, until it falls to pieces. Strain, and when cold remove all the grease.
Mix one tablespoonful of arrowroot to a paste with a little of the broth and pour over
it slowly, stirring all the time, one pint of the hot chicken broth. Boil for a few minutes,
and serve.
