“Poivrade Sauce.”
This is the foundation of sauce for Mutton “Reform Cutlets,” and many others. Take the red part of carrots and 1 onion, a little lean ham, 1 bay-leaf, and parsley, and fry all in as little fresh salad oil as is possible. The quicker they are done the better will be their colour. Add a teaspoonful of sugar and a few peppercorns. Finish in a little stock, and, when stewed soft enough, pass through a tammy. (For “Reform Cutlets” see Mutton, under Meat.)
