  36. Beans a la Poulette.
  First boil the beans, and then put them into a stew-pan
with some butter, parsley chopped, green onions, and a little
savoury; shake them over the fire, add a little flour, a lump of
sugar, and a little stock. When done, put in the yolks of
three eggs, beaten up with a little milk.
