Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. four ounces of butter
  2. three large onions

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Wash a teacupfui of rice, and boil it with three large onions, a mealy potato, an egg, four ounces of butter, a little chopped celery and herbs, pepper, salt, and sugar.
  2. It should boil for nearly two hours.
  3. The same may be varied by adding a little chopped pickle of any kind.
