1 1/2 lbs. Gravy Beef--4d.
2 oz. Fat Bacon--1 1/2d.
2 oz. Onion--1/2d.
1 pint Milk
3 Tomatoes
1/2 pint Gravy
1 1/2 oz. Semolina
1 oz. Dry Cheese--6d.
Total Cost--1s.
Time--Three Hours
Mince the onion and bacon very fine indeed, put them into a saucepan
and fry a good brown, then add half the gravy, and stir until a sort of
half glaze. Rub the tomatoes through a sieve and stir them in with the
rest of the gravy, bring to the boil. Cut the meat into strips and put
it in with a little salt and pepper, and simmer very gently for about
three hours. While it is cooking put the milk on to boil, mix the
semolina with a little cold milk, and stir it in; cook it until the
spoon will come out quite clean, then turn it on to a dish till cold.
Cut it into squares and lay some in a deep dish, sprinkle with grated
cheese, then more semolina and more cheese. Pour over this some of
the
gravy in which the meat is cooking, and put it in the oven to get hot.
Dish up the meat and pour the sauce over it. Send the two dishes to
table together, quite hot.
