ROAST

^

Dnvld

Harum

Pot

Roast:

"

Lay

a

round

of

beef

in

a

deep

pot.

Add

a

cup

of

boiling

water

and

two

slices

of

onion,

cover

closely,

and

for

every

pound

of

meat

cook

ten

minutes.

Then

transfer

to

a

drip-

ping-pan,

rub

with

butter,

dredge

with

flour,

and

brown

in

a

hot

oven.

Strain

and

cool

the

gravy

left

in

the

pot,

and,

after

removing

the

fat,

put

in

a

sauce-

pan

seasoned

with

salt,

pepper,

and

a

little

kitchen

bouquet.

Thicken

with

a

roux

of

browned

flour

and

butter,

boil

up

once,

and

serve

poured

around

the

meat.

It's

not

a

bad

idea

to

put

some

potatoes

that

have

been

peeled

all

over

around

the

meat

and

let

them

cook

in

the

oven.

A

little

good

salad,

plenty

of

fresh

horseradish,

and

something

cold

to

drink,

make

this

an

ideal

feast

for

the

jaded

palate

that

turns

at

truflJles

and

mocks

at

mushrooms."
