ew walnuts roasted,
chestnuts and filberts, and the same may also be served in the gravy
with the bird.
~STUFFING FOR VEAL~--Trim off the skin and mince fine one-fourth pound
of beef suet. Mix with it one cupful of bread crumbs, one tablespoonful
of chopped parsley, two tablespoons of finely minced ham and the grated
peel of a lemon. Season the stuffing to taste with pepper and salt and
bind it with one beaten egg. It is then ready to use.
~TRUFFLE AND CHESTNUT STUFFING~--Peel off the thick outer skin of the
chestnuts, pat them into a saucepan with a bay leaf, a lump of salt, and
plenty of coriander seeds. Cover them with water, and boil until nearly
tender. Drain the chestnuts and peel off the inner skin, for every half
pound of chestnuts, weighed after they are boiled and peeled, allow
one-half pound of bacon, one-quarter pound of truffles, and the
chestnuts all cut up into small pieces; season to taste with salt,
pepper and spices and add a little each of powdered thyme and marjoram;
toss the mixture for a few minutes longer over the fire and it is then
ready for use.
~TRUFFLE STUFFING FOR TURKEY~--Brush well one and one-half pounds of
truffles, peel them, mince the peel very fine, cut the truffles into
slices, put them all into a saucepan with one-quarter pound of minced
fat bacon and any obtainable fat from the turkey. Also a good size lump
of butter, with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for ten minutes and let
it get cold before using. A turkey should be stuffed with this three
days before it is cooked, and truffle sauce should accompany it.
~ENGLISH STUFFING~--First, take some stale bread (use your own judgment
as to the quantity), and brown it in your oven. Also one onion (red ones
preferred), a quarter of a pound of fresh pork, or sausages, and run it
through your meat grinder with a few stalks of celery; place it in a
saucepan, in which a small lump of butter has been dissolved. Beat one
or two eggs in a pint of sweet milk. Stir all ingredients well. Place
on the fire or in the oven and continue to stir, so as to see that the
onions are cooked. After you have this done set in a cool place; when
the above articles are cold, place inside the turkey. Your seasoning
that you place in the turkey, or make your gravy with, is sufficient.
Roast it in the same way as you have done in the past.
