Plasmon Mould of Kedgeree

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoonfuls Plasmon
• pint fish stock
• 1 lb. cold boiled fish
• 1 teacupful Carolina rice
• 1 oz. butter
• 2 hard-boiled eggs
• salt, pepper , and cayenne
• pint aspic or savoury jelly
• parsley and hard-boiled egg for decoration

Method

1. 1

   Rinse a mould with cold water and mask it with a little aspic or savoury jelly; ornament it with sprigs of parsley and pieces of hard-boiled egg; cover the ornamentation with a little more aspic jelly, and allow it to set.

2. 2

   Boil the rice as for a curry, and when done place it in a basin and stir into it the butter.

3. 3

   Have ready the boiled fish, freed from bones and skin, and the hard-boiled eggs chopped in fairly large pieces; add these to the rice and mix well together with sufficient salt, pepper, and cayenne to season it nicely.

4. 4

   Have ready 0.5 pint fish stock (tepid), made from the bones and skin of the fish, and pour it gradually upon 2 teaspoonfuls of Plasmon, stirring it well to keep it quite smooth; place this in a double saucepan and boil for 4 minutes, keeping it well stirred.

5. 5

   Season it nicely with pepper and salt, and when slightly cooled add to it the rice and fish, etc.; stir it well in, place the mixture in the prepared mould, and allow it to set; when quite firm dip the mould in hot water and turn out.

6. 6

   Garnish with parsley and hard-boiled egg.
