782 | Pillau of Chicken à la Turque.
—Take a fine tender chicken weighing two pounds, singe, draw, and wipe it well, then cut it into twelve even pieces. Brown them in a stewpan with an ounce of butter, one chopped onion, and one chopped green pepper. Let cook for six minutes, stirring lightly with a wooden spoon, then moisten with a pint of good broth (No. 99), and a gill of tomato sauce (No. 205). Add two ounces of dried mushrooms which have been soaking in water for several hours, or twelve canned mushrooms; season with a good pinch of salt, half a pinch of pepper, and half a teaspoonful of diluted saffron. Now add half a pint of well-washed, raw rice (if using Italian rice, only pick it) and three tablespoonfuls of grated Parmesan cheese; cook for twenty minutes longer, dress neatly on a hot dish, and serve.
