Cornets à la Portugaise.—Pound five or six
large tomatoes, sieve them, seasoning this purée
with pepper, salt, and, if needed, a drop or two of
liquid carmine. Now stir into it a gill of liquid
aspic jelly, a gill of cream whipped stiffly, with a
strong flavouring of freshly grated Parmesan cheese,
and a little coralline pepper; add to this a dessert-
spoonful of tarragon and a teaspoonful of chilli
vinegar, with a little minced tarragon and chervil,
and set this all on ice till wanted. Have ready
some biscuit-crisp cornets of cheese pastry, and fill
them with this cream by means of a bag and pipe,
and serve garnished with seasoned watercress.
