Bean Croquettes

Shape dry mashed beans into thick croquettes (oiling the hands or dipping them in hot water occasionally), coat delicately with oil or melted butter, heat in oven till beginning to crack a little, no more. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, serve with Sauce Amèricaine, Sauce Imperial, or Mayonnaise or French dressing, or with a garnish of lemon rings with parsley butter, p. 163. Any seasoning but salt in the croquettes spoils them.
