Pheasant à l'Albert.
(Faisan à l'Albert.)
Pick, singe, and cleanse the bird, and then cut it in neat
joints, season it with ground ginger, salt, and a little cayenne;
put it into a stewpan with two ounces of butter and two finely
sliced Spanish onions if small—if large, one will be sufficient;
add a bunch of herbs, thyme, parsley, and bayleaf, and fry for
about twenty minutes; then add a teaspoonful of turmeric
powder, a saltspoonful of crushed cumin seed, the juice of
one lemon, one wineglass of sherry, one ounce of good glaze,
and a pint of tomato sauce; cook all together for about half
an hour, then remove the fat, and take up the joints; tammy
the sauce, then mix again with the pheasant, and serve with
a border of rice, very small tomatoes prepared as below, and
button mushrooms. Serve hot.
