Sage and Onion, or Goose-stuffing Sauce.—(No. 300.)
Chop very fine an ounce of onion and half an ounce of green sage leaves; put them into a stew-pan with four spoonfuls of water; simmer gently for ten minutes; then put in a tea-spoonful of pepper and salt, and one ounce of fine bread-crumbs; mix well together; then pour to it a quarter of a pint of (broth, or gravy, or) melted butter, stir well together, and simmer it a few minutes longer.
[242]Obs. This is a very relishing sauce for roast pork, poultry, geese, or ducks; or green pease on maigre days.
