We had hoped to
have been able
without exceeding
the prescribed limits
of the present
volume to have
added here a
somewhat extensive
chapter on the cookery of other countries, and to have comprised in
it a section adapted to the service of the Jewish table; but we have
so much enlarged in the pages on the more important subject of
“Bread,” and on other matters which relate to simple English
domestic economy, that we find it necessary to depart from our
original intention, and to confine our receipts here to a comparatively
small number. This, however, is of the less consequence as so many
good and well tested foreign receipts, of which, from our own
experience, we can guarantee the success, are to be found in the
body of the work.
REMARKS ON JEWISH COOKERY.
188. We were made acquainted with it first through the courtesy of a Jewish lady,
who afterwards supplied us with the address of the butcher from whom it was
procured: Mr. Pass, 34, Duke Street, Aldgate, from whom the chorissa also
may be purchased, and probably many other varieties of smoked meat which
are used in Jewish cookery. For such of our readers as may not be
acquainted with the fact, it may be well to state here that all meat supplied by
Jew butchers is sure to be of first-rate quality, as they are forbidden by the
Mosaic Law to convert into food any animal which is not perfectly free from
all “spot or blemish.”
This is excellent, possessing the fine flavour of a really well cured
ham, and retaining it unimpaired for a very long time after it is cut or
cooked, if kept in a cool larder; it is therefore a valuable and
inexpensive store for imparting savour to soups, gravies, and other
preparations; and it affords also a dish of high relish for the table. An
inch or two of the lean part, quite cleared from the smoked edges
and divided into dice, will flavour well a tureen of gravy, or a pint of
soup: even that which has been boiled will greatly improve the
flavour of Liebig’s extract of beef, and of any simple broth or
consommé. From the depth of fat upon it, which appears particularly
rich and mellow, we think it is the thick flank of the beef of which we
have made trial in various ways, and which is now in much request
in several families of our acquaintance, who find it greatly superior to
the common hung or Dutch beef, to which they were previously
accustomed.
It must be cooked in the same manner as other smoked meats,
more time being allowed for it than for fresh. Drop it into boiling
water, and when it has boiled quickly for ten minutes, take off the
scum should any appear, add cold water sufficient to reduce it to
mere scalding heat, bring it again gently to a boil, and simmer it until
the lean appears quite tender when probed with a sharp skewer;
then lift it on to a drainer and serve it hot or cold, and garnished in
either case with vegetables or otherwise at pleasure. Beef, 6 lbs.: 3
hours or more.
CHORISSA (OR JEWISH SAUSAGE) WITH RICE.
Drop the chorissa into warm water, heat it gently, boil it for about
twenty minutes, and serve it surrounded with rice prepared as for
currie. It will be found very good broiled in slices after the previous
boiling: it should be cold before it is again laid to the fire. In all cases
it will, we think, be found both more easy of digestion and more
agreeable if half-boiled at least before it is broiled, toasted, or
warmed in the oven for table. It is a good addition to forcemeat, and
pounded savoury preparations, if used in moderation.
TO FRY SALMON AND OTHER FISH IN OIL.
(Mauritian Receipts.)
The composition of these favourite oriental sauces varies but little
except in the ingredient which forms the basis of each. The same
piquant or stimulating auxiliaries are intermingled with all of them in
greater or less proportion. These are, young onions, chilies
(sometimes green ginger), oil, vinegar, and salt; and occasionally a
little garlic or full grown onion, which in England might be
superseded by a small portion of minced eschalot. Green peaches,
mangoes, and other unripe fruits, crushed to pulp on the stone roller,
shown at the head of this chapter; ripe bananas, tomatas roasted or
raw, and also reduced to a smooth pulp; potatoes cooked and
mashed; the fruit of the egg-plant boiled and reduced to a paste; fish,
fresh, salted, or smoked, and boiled or grilled, taken in small
fragments from the bones and skin, and torn into minute shreds, or
pounded, are all in their turn used in their preparation.[190] Mingle
with any one of these as much of the green onions and chilies
chopped up small, as will give it a strong flavour; add salt if needed,
and as much olive oil, of pure quality, with a third as much of vinegar,
as will bring it to the consistence of a thick sauce. Serve it with
currie, cutlets, steaks, pork, cold meat, or fish, or aught else to which
it would be an acceptable accompaniment.
190. We are indebted for these receipts to a highly intelligent medical man who
has been for twenty years a resident in the Mauritius.
INDIAN LOBSTER-CUTLETS.
(Entrée.)
This is an Oriental dish of high savour, which may be made either
with a young fowl or chicken parboiled for the purpose, or with the
remains of such as have already been sent to table. First, put into a
stewpan about a tablespoonful of very mild onion finely minced, or a
larger proportion with a mixture of eschalots, for persons whose
taste is in favour of so strong a flavour; add rather more than a
quarter of a pint of cold water, about an ounce of butter smoothly
blended with a very small teaspoonful of flour, a moderate seasoning
of cayenne, and a tablespoonful of essence of anchovies. Shake or
stir this sauce over a clear fire until it boils, then let it stand aside and
merely simmer for ten or fifteen minutes, or until the onion is quite
tender, then pour to it a couple of wineglassesful of Madeira (Sherry
or Tenerifte will do), and a tablespoonful of chili-vinegar. Lay in the
fowl after having carved it neatly, divided all the joints, and stripped
off the skin; and let it remain close to the fire, but without boiling, until
it is perfectly heated through; bring it to the point of boiling and send
it immediately to table. A dish of rice, boiled as for currie, is often, but
not invariably, served with it. Should the fowl have been parboiled
only—that is to say, boiled for a quarter of an hour—it must be gently
stewed in the sauce for fifteen or twenty minutes; longer, even,
should it not then be quite tender. Cold lamb, or veal, or calf’s-head,
or a delicate young rabbit, may be very advantageously served as a
rechauffé, in a sauce compounded as above. The various
condiments contained in this can be differently apportioned at
pleasure; and pickled capsicum, or chilies minced, can be added to it
at choice either in lieu of, or in addition to the chili-vinegar. The juice
of a fresh lime should, if possible, be thrown into it before it is
served. Except for a quite plain family dinner, only the superior joints
of poultry should be used for this dish. Care should be taken not to
allow the essence of anchovies to predominate too powerfully in it.
THE KING OF OUDE’S OMLET.
Whisk up very lightly, after having cleared them in the usual way,
five fine fresh eggs; add to them two dessertspoonsful of milk or
cream, a small teaspoonful of salt, one—or half that quantity for
English eaters—of cayenne pepper, three of minced mint, and two
dessertspoonsful of young leeks, or of mild onions chopped small.
Dissolve an ounce and a half of good butter in a frying-pan about the
size of a plate, or should a larger one of necessity be used, raise the
handle so as to throw the omlet entirely to the opposite side; pour in
the eggs, and when the omlet, which should be kept as thick as
possible, is well risen and quite firm, and of a fine light brown
underneath, slide it on to a very hot dish, and fold it together “like a
turnover,” the brown side uppermost: six or seven minutes will fry it.
This receipt is given to the reader in a very modified form, the fiery
original which we transcribe being likely to find but few admirers here
we apprehend: the proportion of leeks or onions might still be much
diminished with advantage:—“Five eggs, two tolahs of milk, one
masha of salt, two mashas of cayenne pepper, three of mint, and two
tolahs of leeks.”
KEDGEREE OR KIDGEREE, AN INDIAN BREAKFAST DISH.
Boil four ounces of rice tender and dry as for currie, and when it is
cooled down put it into a saucepan with nearly an equal quantity of
cold fish taken clear of skin and bone, and divided into very small
flakes or scallops. Cut up an ounce or two of fresh butter and add it,
with a full seasoning of cayenne, and as much salt as may be
required. Stir the kedgeree constantly over a clear fire until it is very
hot; then mingle quickly with it two slightly beaten eggs. Do not let it
boil after these are stirred in; but serve the dish when they are just
set. A Mauritian chatney may be sent to table with it. The butter may
be omitted, and its place supplied by an additional egg or more. Cold
turbot, brill, salmon, soles, John Dory, and shrimps, may all be
served in this form.
A SIMPLE SYRIAN PILAW.
Drop gradually into three pints of boiling water one pint of rice
which has been shaken in a cullender to free it from the dust and
then well wiped in a soft clean cloth. The boiling should not be
checked by the addition of the rice, which if well managed will
require no stirring, and which will entirely absorb the water. It should
be placed above the fire where the heat will reach it equally from
below; and it should boil gently that the grain may become quite
tender and dry. When it is so, and the surface is full of holes, pour in
two or three ounces of clarified butter, or merely add some, cut up
small; throw in a seasoning of salt and white pepper, or cayenne; stir
the whole up well, and serve it immediately. An onion, when the
flavour is liked, may be boiled in the water, which should afterwards
be strained, before the rice is added; there should be three pints of it
when the grain is dropped in.
Small fried sausages or sausage-cakes may be served with it at
pleasure for English eaters. The rice may be well washed and
thoroughly dried in a cloth when time will permit.
SIMPLE TURKISH OR ARABIAN PILAW.
Boil three pounds of bacon in the usual manner; take it out and
drop into the same pan a pair of fowls compactly trussed as for
boiling. In three quarters of an hour, unless very large, they will be
sufficiently cooked; but they should be thoroughly boiled. When they
are so, lift them out, and place a hot cover and thick cloth over them.
Take three pints and a half of the liquor in which they were boiled,
and add to it when it again boils, nearly two pounds of well washed
Patna rice, three onions, a quarter of an ounce each of cloves and
peppercorns, with half as much of allspice, tied loosely in a bit of
muslin. Stew these together very gently for three quarters of an hour.
Do not stir them as it breaks the rice. Take out the spice and onions;
lay in the fowls if necessary, to heat them quite through, and dish
them neatly with the rice heaped smoothly over them. Garnish the
pilaw with hot hard-boiled eggs cut in quarters, or with fried
forcemeat-balls, or with half rings of onion fried extremely dry. The
bacon, heated apart, should be served in a separate dish.
Obs.—This is a highly approved receipt supplied to us by a friend
who had long experience of it in India; but we would suggest that to
be really cooked so as to render it wholesome in this country, a
larger quantity of liquid should be added to it, as one pint (or pound)
will absorb three pints of water or broth: and the time allowed for
stewing it appears to us insufficient for it to become really tender. A
Persian Pilaw is made much in the same manner, sometimes with
morsels of fried kid mixed with the rice.
Bacon, 3 lbs., 1-1/2 to 2 hours; fowls, 2.; Rice, nearly 2 lbs. Broth
from bacon and fowls, 3-1/2 pints; onions, 3; cloves and
peppercorns, 1/4 oz. each; allspice, 1 drachm: 3/4 hour.
INDIAN RECEIPT FOR CURRIED FISH.
Take the fish from the bones, and cut it into inch and half squares;
lay it into a stewpan with sufficient hot water to barely cover it;
sprinkle some salt over, and boil it gently until it is about half cooked.
Lift it out with a fish-slice, pour the liquor into a basin, and clear off
any scum which may be on it. Should there be three or four pounds
of the fish, dissolve a quarter of a pound of butter in a stewpan, and
when it has become a little brown, add two cloves of garlic and a
large onion finely minced or sliced very thin; fry them until they are
well coloured, then add the fish; strew equally over it, and stir it well
up with from two to three tablespoonsful of Bengal currie powder;
cover the pan, and shake it often until the fish is nicely browned; next
add by degrees the liquor in which it was stewed, and simmer it until
it is perfectly done, but not so as to fall into fragments. Add a
moderate quantity of lemon-juice or chili vinegar, and serve it very
hot.
