Butter two pieces of bread; spread one with the peanut mixture, the other with shredded lettuce, and press the two together. =Shad-Roe-and-Yellow-Butter Sandwiches.= INGREDIENTS. 1/4 a pound of butter. Sifted yolks of 4 eggs. 1 set of shad roe, cooked, pounded in a mortar and sifted. 1/2 a teaspoonful of paprica. 4 drops of tobasco sauce. 2 teaspoonfuls of very fine-chopped capers. _Method._--Cream the butter and add the other ingredients gradually. Prepare as usual. =Green-Butter Sandwiches.= INGREDIENTS. 1/4 a pound of butter. 1/8 a peck of spinach. 2 tablespoonfuls of very fine-chopped parsley. 6 anchovies. 2 teaspoonfuls of very fine-chopped capers. _Method._--Boil the spinach, drain thoroughly, and press through a piece of muslin.
Beat the butter to a cream with a wooden spoon; beat into the butter enough of the spinach pulp to give the required tint of green. Wipe the oil from the anchovies, remove the backbone, and pass through a hair sieve; then add to the colored butter, a little at a time; add also the parsley and capers; chill slightly and use as a filling for sandwiches.
