RECIPE

 

  
  
5. Sardines a la Provincial.
  Cut some neat fingers of toasted bread, large enough to
hold a sardine, butter them slightly, wipe as many sardines as
may be reduced, put one on each finger of toast, dish them
up on a round dish in the form of a lattice-work, keep the
dish in a hot oven long enough to get the sardines thoroughly
hot. Have exactly a sauce made as follows :-Put three well-
beaten eggs into a small saucepan, add a pat of butter, a
tablespoonful of cream, a teaspoonful of anchovy essence, and
a tablespoonful of finely-chopped boiled onions; season with
popper and salt ; stir over a fire until it thickens, pour
quickly over the dish of prepared sardines, sprinkle with
a few drops of dissolved meat-glaze dust with a pinch of
cayenne pepper, and serve.
