This recipe was extracted from Hilda's diary of a Cape housekeeper (1902) by Hildagonda J. Duckitt, page 57. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

QUIN’S SAUCE When cooked add about the same quantity (a cupful) of grated cheese, and little rounds of tongue (cut slices flat and then punch out with a cutter about the size of a shilling, into rounds). Bake till brown. Put a little grated Parmesan cheese and butter on the ^top, and serve very hot. A similar dish I have seen mentioned elsewhere was said to be improved by the addition of some sausages fried and served with it, but I see that recipe had no cheese in it. Another Risotto.— Another risotto recipe (Mrs. Clark’s), from Genoa, has much less cheese and would therefore be all the better for a breakfast dish. 4 tablespoonfuls of cooked rice. I tablespoon ful of ham (or tongue), chopped fine. I tablespoonful of chicken or pheasant, chopped fine. I hard-boiled egg, chopped fine. 1 small onion, chopped fine. Put a small pat of butter to get hot, and put the onion in it to cook a little first, then add the other ingredients. When serving up add a spoonful of grated Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to taste. Serve very hot.
