Egg and lemon sauce

Egg and Lemon Sauce

This recipe was originally published as Egg and Lemon Sauce from “Fondue Cookery” by Alison Burt, 1970

This is a sharp, sour sauce to serve with savoury meat and fish dishes. I like to make it with beef stock and serve with slow cooked meatballs.

Ingredients

2 eggs

1/2 cup lemon juice

salt and pepper

4 x 15ml tablespoons of stock. Beef, chicken or fish, whichever matches the dish you will be serving it with

Method

Whisk your eggs until they’re light and fluffy.

Pour in the lemon juice slowly while you’re still mixing.

Add the stock in the same way.

Pour into a small saucepan and heat over a low flame until it’s all warmed through.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve warm over your meat or fish dish.

An unusual and sweet 19th century rice pudding dessert.

Ingredients

135gm or 4 1/2oz of sticky rice. I have used medium grain rice.

1 1/4 pints or 600ml water

4 tablespoons of sugar (15ml tablespoons)

1 cinnamon stick

roasted unsalted peanuts

Makes 2 – 3 serves

 Method

Put the rice, water, sugar and cinnamon in a saucepan and cook over a gentle heat until all of the water has been absorbed.

Turn off the heat, put on a close fitting lid and leave to cool.

Remove the cinnamon stick.

Rinse some small jell-o (jelly to my non-US viewers) moulds out with water and leave them wet.

Press the rice into the moulds.

Put them in the fridge to set completely.

Put a plate on top of the moud, flip upside down and remove the mould.

Decorate with peanuts.
