Cookbook Recipes – Fritto Misto

“Fritto Misto” means fried mixture.

Take a lamb chop, a piece of calf brain, one sweetbread, a slice of
veal, a fresh mushroom, sliced Italian squash, a piece of asparagus or
of cauliflower and dip these into a batter made of an egg well beaten
with a little flour. Sprinkle these with a little lime juice and fry to
a delicate brown in butter, adding salt and pepper to taste.

SARDELLED EGGS. JENNIE MARTIN HERSHBERGER, TIFFIN, OHIO.

Boil some eggs hard; remote shells, and cut the eggs oblong; take out

yolks, and cream, or mash fine. Then take sardells, and remove the

backbone; mash fine, and mix with the yolks of eggs and a little red

pepper, and fill the whites of eggs with the mixture. They are fine

for an appetizer. Sardells are a small fish from three to four inches

long, and come in small kegs, like mackerel.

~TRUFFLES FOR GARNISH

Choose large round truffles, wash them
thoroughly and peel them, and put the required number into a saucepan,
pour over them enough chicken broth or champagne to nearly cover them,
add an onion stuck with three or four cloves, a clove of garlic, a bunch
of sweet herbs, and a little of the skimmings of the chicken broth or
fat. Place the pan on the fire and boil for fifteen minutes with the lid
on, then remove from the fire, and let the truffles cool in their
liquor. Remove them, drain, and they are ready for use. Another way to
fix them is to boil them ten minutes and cut them into various shapes.
The trimmings from them as well as the liquor may be used in making
sauce.

two gallons of good strong vinegar, three pounds of light brown sugar,

ten cents worth of yellow mustard, three pounds of butter, four dozen

eggs, boiled hard. Chop whites, and cream yolks with butter. Boil

vinegar and sugar together, and skim; add the creamed butter and

yolks; also, mustard, salt and pepper to taste; let stand until cold;

then pour over the celery and chicken; mix thoroughly, and add the

whites of eggs. If unable to get celery, use crisp cabbage, with ten

cents worth of celery seed. If you use celery seed, boil it in the

vinegar.

In contrast to the preceding recipes, these recipes have more ingredients and require more preparation time, but if you’ve got the time, they’re worth it. If you want to minimize time in the kitchen using these recipes, here are some suggestions.

Tips for Saving Time in the Kitchen

_To halve baking time, select boneless chicken breasts. Cooking time is only 15-20 minutes at 350oF. A bone-in breast takes 35-45 minutes.

_Stir fry chicken can be done in as little as 4 minutes.

_Cook double batches and freeze the extras in serving size packages. On days when time is short, pop a package into the microwave for “fast food.”

_Take advantage of your supermarket’s time-saving convenience items. If you’re in a hurry, don’t bother to slice and chop your fresh ingredients. The salad bar has probably done it for you. You can also find time savers such as shredded cheese and frozen chopped onion. (The supermarket industry has watched restaurants and fast food stores take more and more of your food dollars away each year. They’re now doing everything they can think of to reverse this trend and make supermarket shopping so attractive, quick, convenient and economical that you’ll want to cook at home.)

_Learn to cook chicken in the microwave. A pound of broiler parts that would take 40 minutes in a 350 degree oven takes only 6-10 minutes in the microwave. See Chapter Four, Chicken in the Microwave.

STUFFED EGGS.

Boil eggs for twenty minutes; then drop in cold water. Remove the

shells, and cut lengthwise. Remove the yolks, and cream them with a

good salad dressing. Mix with chopped ham, or chicken, or any cold

meat, if you choose. Make mixture into balls, and fill in the hollows

of your whites. If you have not the salad dressing mix the yolks from

six eggs with a teaspoonful of melted butter, a dash of cayenne

pepper, a little prepared mustard, salt, vinegar and sugar to taste.

HARTSHORN JELLY.

Jewish Recipes

Boil half a pound of hartshorn shavings in two quarts of water over a
gentle fire until it becomes thick enough to hang about a spoon, then
strain it into a clean saucepan and add half a pint of sherry wine,
and a quarter of a pound of white sugar, clear it by stirring in the
whites of a couple of eggs, whisked to a froth; boil it for about four
or five minutes, add the juice of three lemons, and stir all together,
when it is well curdled, strain it and pour into the mould, if the
color is required to be deeper than the wine will make it, a little
saffron may be boiled in it.

an equal quantity of peas. In using canned peas rinse them well with

each of nutmeg and cayenne and salt to taste. Mix well and add one egg
well beaten. Turn into a buttered baking dish, cover with buttered
