Cullis the Italian Way.
Put into a stew-pan half a handful of cullis, as much essence
of ham, half a ladleful of gravy, as much of broth, three or four
onions cut into slices, four or five cloves of garlic, a little beaten
cornander-seed, with a lemon pared and cut into slices, a little
sweet basil, mushrooms, and good oil; put all over the fire;
let it stew a quarter of an hour, take the fat well off; let it be
of a good taste, and it will serve for all sorts of meat and
fish, particularly with glazed fish. This sauce will do for two
chickens, six pigeons, quails, or ducklings, and all sorts of tame
and wild fowl Now this Italian, or French sauce, is fancy.
