soon as each piece is dry, cut into strips the width of a finger, cook in
boiling salted water, put into a colander and pour boiling water over them. Then
chop an onion with parsley and stew in butter, cut 1 pound of lean boiled ham
into very small pieces, add 6 whole eggs and the yolks of 6 eggs with 1 pint of
thick sour cream, 1/2 teaspoonful of mace and to this the stewed onion and
parsley, and stir all together with the noodles. Then butter a mould, fill with
the mixed noodles, sprinkle with grated bread and bake for 1/2 hour in a hot
oven.
Serve with veal roast, kettle roast, or with all kinds of cutlets and pork
sausages. Slice macaroni prepared in the same way are very palatable; break them
into pieces 1 1/2 inches long and cook in salted water.
44. Remnants of Ham baked with Noodle Dough. A very nice dish served with
sourkrout and spinach. Use 1 egg in making the noodle dough as directed in
Division L, No. 24, cut into pieces about the size of a visiting card, cook in
boiling water until done, and put into cold water and then on a colander to
cool. In the meantime take the remnants of boiled ham, chop as finely as
possible and mix with nutmeg, pepper and grated Swiss cheese. Butter the mould,
line the bottom and sides with the noodles so that there is no space between
them. Over tins put a layer of ham, then noodles, and so on for two or three
layers, having noodles on top. Then beat up 4 eggs, add some milk and a little
salt in case the ham is not very salty, pour the milk and eggs over the dish and
bake in a hot oven for 1 hour, turn out of the pan and serve.
45. Rice Noodles. Rice noodles are cooked in salted water for 1/2 hour, put on a
colander and pour boiling water over them, which must not be forgotten. Then
bring to a boil with some milk, butter and nutmeg and serve covered with grated
cheese.
Another way is to mix scalded noodles with melted butter and a broth prepared of
extract of beef; if liked, stir through it finely chopped ham. Then serve,
covering with some of the noodles browned in butter.
The noodles can be prepared with bacon cut into cubes and fried to a light brown
color.
Excepting the rice noodles, none are fit for invalids.
