PIQUANT SAUCE (another way) (Mix together a table-spoonful)

Mix together a table-spoonful of minced capers and a table-spoonful of chopped parsley. Put with them six anchovies which have been boned and pounded, the yolks of three hard-boiled eggs, and a table-spoonful of dry mustard. Rub these ingredients with the back of a wooden spoon until they are smoothly mixed, then press them through a coarse sieve. Add a pinch of cayenne, and moisten the whole with two table-spoonfuls of oil and two of vinegar. Stir the paste into half a pint of stock or melted butter; let it boil, strain it, and it is ready for serving. Time, half an hour. Probable cost, 8d. Sufficient for nearly three-quarters of a pint of sauce.
