1172. FRENCH-BEANS, WITH FINE HERBS.
Boil the beans as directed in the foregoing case. Put two pats of
fresh butter into a stewpan with a table-spoonful of chopped and
parboiled parsley, and two shallots also chopped, a little nutmeg,
mignonette-pepper, and salt, and the juice of a lemon; simmer this
over a stove-fire until melted, and then throw the beans in, toss the
whole together, and dish them up with croûtons round them.
