Riz à la Napolitaine :—Melt an ounce of butter at the bottom of a saucepan, which ought to have been previously well rubbed with a piece of garlic; shred an onion the size of a golf-ball very finely, and fry it in the butter; stir into this, when of a golden yellow colour, two breakfast-cupfuls of well-boiled rice; work it vigorously with a wooden spoon while an assistant shakes into the pan a couple of heaped-up table-spoonfuls of grated Parmesan or Gruyère; garnish the dish with strips of anchovies, and serve it piledup on a flat dish.
