flour and butter, or white roux (No. 526)
a faggot of savoury herbs, including...
parsley
6 chopped mushrooms
6 green onions
Instructions:
517. Ingredients. — 1 pint of white stock (No. 107), thickening of flour and butter, or white roux (No. 526), a faggot of savoury herbs, including parsley, 6 chopped mushrooms, 6 green onions.
Mode. — Put the stock into a stewpan with the herbs, onions, and mushrooms, and let it simmer very gently for about 1/2 hour; stir in sufficient thickening to make it of a proper consistency ; let it boil for a few minutes, then skim off all the fat, strain and serve. This sauce, with the addition of a little cream, is now frequently called veloute.
Time. — 1/2 hour. Average cost, for this quantity, 6d.
Note. — If poultry trimmings are at hand, the stock should be made of these; and the above sauce should not be made too thick, as it does not then admit of the fat being nicely removed.
This seems to be just a white sauce...any thoughts? And what exactly is "white stock"?
