No. 179 Goose Pork
Take a fresh ham, score the skin nicely; take the inside of a loaf of bread, ½ can of mushrooms, 1 onion, ½ bunch of parsley, not quite ½ bunch of thyme, nearly ½ bunch of sage; cut the parsley and onion very fine, also the mushrooms; rub the thyme and sage together very fine; 1 tablespoonful of butter must be put in the breadcrumbs, and all the above must be mixed up well with it; make 5 or 6 pockets in the ham, stuff this dressing tightly in them, tie a string around them to keep the dressing in, put pepper and salt on it and dust over a little flour. Put the ham in a dressing-pan in an oven, baking slowly for 4 hours. Be sure to baste and dust it well with flour until done. When done take all fat off of gravy, which if not thick enough must be thickened. Boil rice enough to garnish the dish with, boiling in half milk and half water; when done let it get cool, beat 2 eggs, pepper and salt, a little of the mushroom water, 1 tablespoonful of sugar; put these in rice, roll out in croquettes, put them first in beaten egg and then in breadcrumbs; fry a light brown. Make apple sauce and serve with it.
