Ingredients

  • five tablespoonfuls of the oyster liquor
  • one half pint of rice
  • one pint of stock
  • a tablespoonful of butter
  • an ounce of butter
  • one half can of tomato
  • one quarter of a white onion
  • salt
  • white pepper
  • pepper

Directions

1

Put into the chafing-dish four or five tablespoonfuls of the oyster liquor; add salt, white pepper, and a tablespoonful of butter, and stir till it is scalding hot. Drop the oysters in, a dozen at a time, and cook till they are plump and tender; then skim out and place on slices of hot buttered toast; add more oysters as required.

2

One half pint of rice; one pint of stock; one half can of tomato. Soak the rice in cold water for an hour. Pour off the water, and put the rice, with the stock and one quarter of a white onion, in a double boiler. Stew till the rice absorbs the stock.

3

Stew the tomato thoroughly, and season with butter, salt, and pepper. Mix it with the rice.

4

Saute in butter to a light color jointed chicken, slightly parboiled, or slices of cold cooked chicken or turkey. Make a hole in the rice and tomato, put in the chicken and an ounce of butter, and stew all together for twenty minutes. Serve on a platter in a smooth mound, the red rice surrounding the fowl.
