Hash, Superior

Peel two dozen button-onions, dredge them with flour, and fry them with two ounces of butter till they are brightly browned. Pour over them half a pint of good broth, add a little salt and pepper, and a table-spoonful of lemon-juice, and either a table-spoonful of mushroom ketchup or a few stewed mushrooms, and simmer gently until the onions are quite tender. Pour the gravy over the slices of meat, and let them remain until required. Put the contents of the dish into a saucepan, and let them get as hot as possible without boiling. Serve immediately. A glass of claret or port is an improvement. Time, an hour. Probable cost, 6d., exclusive of the cold meat. Sufficient for three or four persons.
