RECIPE

45. Vegetable Pie.
Cut celery heads two inches long, turnips and carrots
into shapes, some peeled small onions; or two Spanish
onions, artichoke bottoms cut into quarters, pieces of cauli-
flower or heads of broccoli, heads of fine asparagus, and
any other vegetable you may think proper. Wash all these
thoroughly clean ; then boil each kind separately in just
sufficient water to cover them, and as they get tender
strain the liquor into one stew-pan and put the vegetables
into another. Then add to the liquor half a pint of
consommé (p. 77), thicken it with flour, and season it with
cayenne, salt, and lemon juice; boil it for ten minutes,
strain it to the vegetables, and let the whole simmer together.
Serve in a raised pie-crust, or in a pie-dish with a raised
crust baked round it.
