Ingredients
- one pound of lean pork
- two pounds of the inside fat
- three teaspoonsful of salt
- 2 lbs
- 3 teaspoonsful
- 1-1/2 teaspoonful
- 1/2 teaspoonful
- 1 small
- 1 large tablespoonful
Directions
Chop, not very fine, one pound of lean pork with two pounds of the inside fat; strew over, and mix thoroughly with them three teaspoonsful of salt, nearly half as much pepper, a half-tablespoonful of mixed parsley, thyme, and sage (and sweet-basil, if it can be procured), all minced extremely small. Press the meat closely and evenly into a shallow tin,—such as are used for Yorkshire puddings will answer well,—and bake it in a very gentle oven from an hour to an hour and a half: it is served cold in slices. Should the proportion of fat be considered too much, it can be diminished on a second trial.
Minced mushrooms or truffles may be added with very good effect to all meat cakes, or compositions of this kind.
Lean of pork, 1 lb.; fat, 2 lbs.; salt, 3 teaspoonsful; pepper, 1-1/2 teaspoonful; mace, 1/2 teaspoonful; nutmeg, 1 small; mixed herbs, 1 large tablespoonful: 1 to 1-1/2 hour.
