Boiling Vegetables

Oven, in the book's wordsA sharp oven

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Plunge green vegetables into boiling water.

  2. Cook with the lid off, keeping the water gently boiling.

  3. To reduce smell, place a piece of bread on top of the greens and tie it in muslin to avoid crumbs.

  4. Discard the bread after cooking as it absorbs volatile oils from the greens.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
