A historical recipe

100s Vegetarian Recipes, by Thomas Richard Allinson (1915).

From an old book: a historical recipe, not current advice. Its methods, additives and storage may be unsafe by today's standards.

Ingredients 4 ingredients

  1. 1 lb. of mushrooms
  2. 1/2 oz. of butter
  3. 1 dessertspoonful of Allinson fine wheatmeal
  4. 1/2 pint of water

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. 1 lb.
  2. of mushrooms, | small onion, 1/2 oz.
  3. of butter, 1 dessertspoonful of Allinson fine wheatmeal, pepper and salt to taste, juice of 1/2 a lemon.
  4. Cook the mushrooms and onion, chopped fine, in 1/2 pint of water for 15 minutes;
  5. adding the butter and seasoning.
  6. Strain the sauce and return it to the saucepan, thicken it with the meal, add the lemon juice, let it simmer 2 or 3 minutes, and serve.
