No. 190 Haricot Bean Salad
½ pint soaked haricot beans.
1 pint of water.
1 ounce butter.
½ teaspoon salt.
A little grated nutmeg.
½ pint Sauce No. 174.
Dissolve half an ounce of butter in a saucepan, place in the beans and water, and boil one and a half hours; add salt and boil another half hour. When done, strain (saving the liquor), and turn the beans into a basin containing half an ounce of oiled butter and the nutmeg. Stir the beans about carefully, and then place them in a dish or salad bowl; pour the sauce over, and stand on one side to get thoroughly cold.
