Tomato Sauce. No. 1. For Boiled Chicken. (Cataldi.)
Take 2 ozs. of ham, fat and lean, 1 ozs. of carrots, 1 oz. of onion and a little celery, the ham and vegetables all to be cut in very small square pieces; add a bunch of sweet herbs, i.e. parsley, thyme, a bay-leaf, and sweet marjoram.
Put all into a stewpan with a little butter, and when well browned add just enough stock to cover them.
When the sauce has cooked sufficiently, add ½ lb. tomatoes, which should be ready divided and have had all their seeds taken out, and simmer all gently for ½ an hour; then, with a. spoon, press it through a tammy, season and serve.
This sauce is also good with cutlets.
