Roast Beef Hash, Zingara

Carefully cut away all the meat from the roast beef remaining from yesterday; discard all the fat, then mince the beef into very small disc-shaped pieces. Mince the same quantity cold, boiled potatoes the same way as the beef. Place in a small saucepan one finely hashed green, sound pepper, one onion and one ounce lean, raw ham, also finely chopped, adding one and a half tablespoons melted butter; then cook on a slow fire for eight minutes, frequently stirring meanwhile. Add a teaspoon flour, stir well, then add the beef and potatoes; moisten with half pint hot broth or hot water and one large peeled and crushed red tomato. Season with half teaspoon salt, one saltspoon cayenne pepper and one saltspoon grated nutmeg; thoroughly mix and cook for five minutes. Cover the pan, then place in a hot oven to bake for forty minutes. Remove, mix well, pour into a hot dish, sprinkle a little chopped parsley over and serve.
