Cucumber Aspic
Ingredients
- 4 large cucumbers
- 1 small onion
- ½ box gelatine
- ½ cup water
- salt and pepper to taste
- seasoning
- lettuce
- French dressing
Instructions
- Four large cucumbers, one small onion, half a box of gelatine soaked in half a cup of cold water, salt and white pepper to taste. Peel the cucumbers, cut into thick slices and place, with the sliced onion, over the fire with a scant quart of water. Simmer for an hour, stir in the gelatine and, when this is dissolved, season the jelly, strain it and set aside to cool.
- It may be formed into small moulds and turned out on lettuce leaves, or used in a border-mould for garnishing a fish or tomato salad, or set to form in a salad bowl and taken out by the spoonful and served on lettuce leaves. French dressing is better with it than mayonnaise.
