RECIPE

14. Puree of Spinach.
Put the spinach in plenty of boiling water ; when done,
throw it into cold water; squeeze it dry, and chop it fine.
Put it in a stew-pan with a little clarified butter, in which
you have fried bread, cut in triangles if for a second
course; if not, the shape is immaterial, as you only wish
to flavour your butter with the bread. Stir it about ten
minutes, that the moisture may evaporate ; add a ladleful
of Spanish sauce (p. 347), season with pepper and salt; a
small piece of glaze may be added. For entrees, rub this
through the hair-sieve.
