A NEW FISH RECIPE

STUFFED FILLETS Make some fish forcemeat bv chopping an onion very finely and cooking it in a little butter until quite tender, adding a little milk and heating both together, then mix in enough breadcrumbs to take up all the milk, add to this about the same quantity of minced fish, a little grated nutmeg, with salt and pepper to taste. Blend with an egg or eggs well beaten, or with only the yolk—lt depends on the quantity you are making—a little grated lemon-peel and chopped parsley may be used if you have not enough fish to put in.

Put the fillets flat bn the beard skin downwards, and spread them thickly with the forcemeat. Roll them up and put them in a baking dish with a little dripping and water, cover with buttered paper, and .bake for thirty to forty minutes. Baste the rolls occasionally. Serve on mashed potatoes "a ith a good brown gravy or S3UCC.
