1 onion
2 cups tomato 1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon fat
1 pound raw meat or left-over meat cut up small 1/2 teaspoon salt
Mashed potato for the crust
Melt the fat, add the sliced onion, and, if raw meat is used, add it and stir until the red color disappears. Add the tomato and seasoning. If cooked meat is used, add it with the tomato and seasoning, after the onion is brown, and heat through. Grease a baking-dish, put in a layer of the potato, add the meat and gravy, and cover with the potato dotted with fat. Bake until the potato is browned.
Put in baking-dish any left-over meat and gravy. Season well with chopped onion, pepper, and salt.
Boil 1 cup rice in salted water. When done, strain, mix with 1 tablespoon butter and two eggs, salt and pepper to taste. Put all on top of meat and bake 1/2 hour.
12 small fresh tongues 6 fresh tomatoes or 1 can 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
1 teaspoon celery extract, or tablespoon celery cut fine 1/4 teaspoon onion juice, salt, pepper, and paprika to taste
Put tongues in a pan of cold water for 30 minutes; boil until the skins crack. This will take from three to four hours. Remove the skin without tearing the meat.
About an hour before serving time, make a sauce by cooking the tomatoes, onions, parsley, and celery until very tender. Strain through a fine sieve or coarse cloth, allowing no seeds to pass through. To the liquor add the seasoning, and allow all to simmer until it becomes the thickness of catsup. Fold in 3 tablespoons of cream whipped, which should thicken the sauce.
Arrange crisp lettuce leaves on a platter, one for each tongue, garnish with sliced lemon and water cress. Serve sauce in sauce boat.
Boil the tongue slowly until tender, putting into the water part of an onion, 1 bay leaf, 3 or 4 allspice, and a piece of mace. Let it stand in the water to cool. Take out, skin it, and stick it full of cloves. Boil it again for a little while until it is thoroughly heated through. Put the water in which the tongue was boiled into a skillet, thicken with a little flour; add salt, pepper, and sugar, and a glass of currant jelly. Let it all boil slowly until it is reduced to about a pint. Mean-while let the tongue stand on a tin plate on top of the fire to keep hot. When the gravy is ready put the tongue in it and baste it until it is smoking hot and ready to serve. Put the tongue on the serving-dish, pour the gravy over it and decorate with slices of lemon.
