Carrots are also good simply boiled in salted water and dished up hot with
melted butter over them.
TURNIPS.
Turnips are boiled plain with or without meat, also mashed like potatoes, and
stewed like parsnips. They should always be served hot. They require from forty
minutes to an hour to cook.
STEWED PUMPKIN.
See "Stewed Pumpkin for Pie." Cook the same, then after stewing, season the same
as mashed potatoes. Pumpkin is good baked in the same manner as baked winter
squash.
STEWED ENDIVE.
Ingredients.--Six heads of endive, salt and water, one pint of broth, thickening
of butter and flour, one tablespoonful of lemon juice, a small lump of sugar.
Mode.--Wash and free the endive thoroughly from insects, remove the green part
of the leaves, and put it into boiling water, slightly salted. Let it remain for
ten minutes; then take it out, drain it till there is no water remaining, and
chop it very fine. Put it into a stew-pan with the broth; add a little salt and
a lump of sugar, and boil until the endive is perfectly tender. When done, which
may be ascertained by squeezing a piece between the thumb and finger, add a
thickening of butter and flour and the lemon juice; let the sauce boil up, and
serve.
Time.--Ten minutes to boil, five minutes to simmer in the broth.
BAKED MUSHROOMS.
Prepare them the same as for stewing. Place them in a baking-pan, in a moderate
oven. Season with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Cook in the
oven fifteen minutes, baste with butter. Arrange on a dish and pour the gravy
over them. Serve with sauce made by beating a cup of cream, two ounces of
butter, a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, a little cayenne pepper, salt, a
tablespoonful of white sauce, and two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice. Put in a
sauce-pan and set on the fire. Stir until thick, but do not let boil. Mushrooms
are very nice placed on slices of well-buttered toast when set into the oven to
bake. They cook in about fifteen minutes.
STEWED MUSHROOMS.
Time, twenty-one minutes. Button mushrooms; salt to taste; a little butter
rolled in flour; two tablespoonfuls of cream or the yolk of one egg. Choose
