Rice Milanaise Style Recipe

Fry one ounce of butter, (cost two cents,) light

brown; put into it half a pound of rice, (cost five cents,) well picked

over, but not washed, and one ounce of onion, chopped fine; stir and

brown for about five minutes, then add a pint of gravy from meat, season

with a level teaspoonful of salt, quarter that quantity of pepper, and

as much cayenne as you can take on the point of a very small pen-knife

blade; the onion and seasoning will cost less than two cents; stew

gently for fifteen minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning,

and serve as soon as the rice is tender. This makes a palatable dish for

about ten cents.
