RECIPE

 

 
  47. Poor Man’s Sauce.

  Put a dessertspoonful of chopped shallots into half a gill
of vinegar with a blade of mace, a clove, fifteen or twenty
peppercorns, a small piece of ham, a small piece of bay-leaf, a
sprig of thyme, and a little parsley ; reduce this three-fourths ;
add two ragout-spoonfuls of Spanish sauce (No. 64), and
one of consommé (p. 77) ; stir it on the fire till boiling, and
draw it to the corner of the stove to imbibe flavour. Skim
it, and pass it through a colander spoon. This sauce should
be kept very thin.
