RECIPE

 

  
  
44. Vegetables in a Mould.
  Line the inside of an oval mould with rashers of bacon;
then set upright alternately slips of cooked turnip, carrots,
celery, asparagus heads, and pickled cucumbers. Lay a
forcemeat at the bottom of the mould and round the inside
of the vegetables ; fill the centre with stewed beef tails with
the bones taken out, or with small pieces of mutton or
veal passed with sweet herbs, pepper, salt, and lemon juice.
Cover with forcemeat, wash over with egg, and bake.
When it is to be served, turn it gently out of the mould
upon a dish, take off the bacon, make a little hole at the
top and pour in some good cullis.
