Water Cresses To Stew Recipe

When the cresses are nicely picked and well washed, put them into a

stewpan with a little butter under them. Let them stew on a clear fire

until almost done; then rub them through a sieve; put them again into a

pan, with a dust of flour, a little salt, and a spoonful of good cream:

give it a boil, and dish it up with sippets. The cream may be omitted,

and the cresses may be boiled in salt and water before they are rubbed

through the sieve, and afterwards stewed, but it takes the strength out,

therefore it is best not to boil them first.
