Tomato Salad

Ingredients

6 large tomatoes, 1 teaspoonful of sugar, 1/2 teaspoonful each of salt, pepper, and made mustard, 2 tablespoonfuls of oil, the yolk of 1 egg, 5 tablespoonfuls of vinegar.

Method

Mix the sugar, salt, pepper, and mustard with the oil, and when smooth, beat in the yolk of a raw egg; then by degrees - a few drops at a time - the vinegar. Peel and slice the tomatoes with a sharp knife, lay them in a glass dish, pour over the dressing and serve.

Baked Tomatoes

Ingredients

6 or 8 large ripe tomatoes, 1 slice of salt pork or ham, breadcrumbs, pepper, sugar.

Method

Peel and slice the tomatoes, mince the pork very fine; put a layer of tomatoes in a buttered pie-dish, season with sugar and pepper, strew with breadcrumbs, and scatter a little pork over it. Fill the dish in this order, having crumbs at the top, cover closely, and bake for half-an-hour, or till the juice bubbles up at the side. Remove the cover, brown, and serve.

Note. - The pork may be omitted if preferred, but a little salt must then be used.
