Sauce Milanaise is a delicious variation of sauce soubise. Blanch and cut up four ounces of onions, and put them into a saucepan with an ounce of butter, a pinch of sugar, and a saltspoonful of salt; add a tablespoonful of previously boiled rice, or pearl barley, and moisten with a breakfast-cupful of broth; let them cook slowly, and when the onions are done add a tablespoonful of finely grated mild cheese (Parmesan for choice), stir the mixture, pass it through a sieve, and mingle it with half a pint of thin sauce blonde.
