The latter is the more usual manner. They are chiefly useful as furnishing a convenient and elegant mode of using the remains of cold dressed meat, game, or fish. Patties, if fried instead of being baked, will become rissoles. Rissoles should be thoroughly drain- ed from fat either on a sieve or on blotting-paper before being sent to table. The difference between a ris- sole and a croquette is that a rissole is fried in pastry, a croquette is egged, breaded, and fried. See Beef ; Game ; Veal. Risotto. See Rice. Rivoli Pudding.

It is frequently spoken of as a brown or white thickening ; it should be kept in a covered jar, and will remain good for months. A teaspoonful is suffi- cient to thicken a pint of gravy. See also Gravies and Thickenings. Roux, Brown. — Dissolve lb. of fresh butter, skim it well, let it stand for a minute, and pour it away from the impurities, which will settle at the bottom. Put the clear, oily part into a saucepan over a slow fire, shake into it about 7 or 8 ozs. of fine flour, or as much as will make a thick paste. Stir constantly, and heat the preparation slowly and equally un- til it is very thick and of a bright- brown color. Put it into a jar, and stir a spoonful into soup or gravy as it is needed. A teaspoonful will thicken half a pint of gravy. Roux may be mixed with hot or cold stock. If cold, stir it over the fire till it boils ; if hot, moisten the roux gradually with the stock, taking it off the fire to keep it from lumping. Roux, Brown
