2 onions. 1 tea-sp. powdered sage. 4 pt. stock or gravy. The fry consists of the liver, heart, lungs, and sweetbread of the pig. Wash the fry carefully in several waters, then put it into a saucepan with warm water to cover it. Bring to the boil and simmer slowly for 15 minutes, skimming when necessary. Meanwhile skin and chop the onions rather finely, put them into a small saucepan with the stock, powdered sage, and a seasoning of pepper and salt, and let them cook until soft. When the fry has simmered the required time drain it, rinse in fresh cold water, and dry in a cloth. Now cut it in slices and coat the pieces lightly with flour seasoned with pepper and salt. Melt the dripping in a frying pan ; when smoking hot put in the prepared fry and cook it until well browned on all sides. Then lift it on to a hot dish and keep it warm. Pour the onions with their gravy into the frying pan, allow all to boil for 5 minutes, scraping down any browning from the pan. Then pour round the fry and serve very hot. 990.
