    Title: Green Pea Cutlets
    Categories: Vegetarian
    Yield: 1 Batch

    1 pt Young peas; shelled
    Mint; to taste
    2 sm Onions
    2 1/2 oz Butter
    1 oz Flour
    1/2 c Milk
    1 Egg
    1 Egg yolk
    Bread crumbs
    4 oz Rice
    1/4 ts Powdered saffron
    1 1/2 oz Cheese; grated
    1 pt Vegetable stock
    Seasoning
    Brown sauce; thick

    Put the peas into a saucepan of boiling water, to which a piece of
    mint, some salt, sugar, and a pinch of soda have been added, and let
    them cook steadily until they are done. Boil one onion in salted
    water until it is tender, then drain it well and rub it through a
    sieve. Melt one ounce of the butter in a saute pan and stir in the
    flour; moisten by degrees with the milk, stirring quickly until the
    sauce is perfectly smooth and very thick, then add the yolk of egg
    and sieved onion; season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, add about 1/4
    ts chopped mint, and lastly the peas (which should be well drained),
    and spread the mixture on a dish to get cold. Take a small portion at
    a time and form into the shape of a little cutlet on a floured board;
    insert a piece of macaroni at the end to represent the bone, and when
    the mixture has all been used, brush them over with beaten egg and
    cover with finely-sifted bread crumbs. When the latter have had time
    to dry, fry the cutlets in boiling oil, and serve round a support of
    rice prepared as follows, and send to the table with a boat of thick
    brown sauce flavoured with Madeira. Put the rice into a saucepan of
    cold, salted water, bring it gradually to boiling point, and let it
    boil rapidly for six minutes, then rinse it in a colander under the
    cold water tap, and drain it well. Mince the remaining onion and put
    it into a stewpan containing one ounce of butter, and let it simmer
    gently until it begins to get soft, but it must not acquire any
    colour, then add the rice, saffron, and stock; when the latter has
    boiled, draw the pan to the side of the stove where the rice can
    simmer steadily until it is quite soft; season it well, add the
    cheese, which should be dry and mild, and half an ounce of butter
    divided into tiny pieces, and use as directed; the saffron can of
    course be omitted if the flavour is disliked, and some chopped
    parsley substituted for it.
