Macaroni, with Tomatoes

Boil four ounces of macaroni (see MACARONI BOILED), but in veal broth instead of water. Skin four fine fresh mutton kidneys, fry them lightly in butter, lift them from the stewpan, and mince them finely. Make a gravy in the same pan, adding a dessert-spoonful of brown flour, half a pint of rich stock, a couple of shallots, minced, and a pinch of cayenne. Stew the minced kidneys in this gravy for ten minutes, when part of the macaroni, which should have been kept warm, may be mixed and tossed in the pan for a few minutes to absorb the liquid. Serve turned out on a hot dish, arrange the remainder of the macaroni on the top, and pour hot tomato sauce over. Time, one hour to prepare. Probable cost, 1s. 6d. Sufficient for two persons.
