Delicious rice cutlets can be made as follows:--Fry 2 grated onions
brown, then add 2 tomatoes in the same pan and cook till tender. Cook
a large cupful of rice in a double saucepan, turn it into a basin, add
the onions and tomatoes, a teaspoonful of chopped parsley, 2-ozs. of
breadcrumbs, 2-ozs. of Emprote, and pepper and salt to taste. Mix
well, turn out on plates and smooth with a wet knife, cut into fingers
and fry crisp in egg and breadcrumbs. Serve with tomato sauce or brown
gravy.
=77. Sicilian Rice.=
Fry in 1-oz. butter, one good handful of chopped parsley and one
finely chopped onion, until the latter is a pale brown colour; now add
equal quantities of boiled rice and nicely cooked cabbage or sprouts
(chopped), pepper and salt, and a small teaspoonful of sugar. Mix all
together and heat thoroughly. Serve.
=78. Curried Rice and Peas.=
(An Indian Dish).
Cook some rice in a jar until nicely swollen, put it in a saucepan,
add one or two fried onions (and some young carrots chopped fine if
desired), some vegetable stock, a dessertspoonful of Lazenby's Mango
chutney, and 1 or 2 teaspoonfuls of Stembridge's curry paste, until
the rice has a rich curry flavour, to taste. Warm 1/2-pint of small
French green peas (use fresh ones in season) with sugar and mint, pour
them in the centre of the dish, place the curried rice round them and
garnish with small fingers of pastry. Serve with fried potatoes and
cauliflower. This dish is easily made and very easy of digestion.
=79. Risi Piselli.=
(A Popular Italian Dish).
Fry some finely chopped parsley and onion till the latter is a
light-brown colour. Have ready equal quantities of cooked rice and
young green peas, boiled separately (let the rice be dry, well cooked,
and each grain separate), add these to the onions and parsley, and
stir well together in the pan. Serve very hot.
=80. Rice and Tomato Rissoles.=
Fry 2 onions brown, then add 4 peeled tomatoes, cook till tender, turn
into a bowl and chop finely with some parsley and thyme. At the same
time cook a small cupful of rice in a double pan. Mix this with the
onions, etc., with pepper and salt, and 2-ozs. of breadcrumbs. Mix
well, then put on plates, smooth over, and when quite cold cut into
rissoles, egg, then crumb and fry. Serve with a rich brown gravy.
=81. A Simple Omelette.=
Take 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon chopped parsley, a little chopped onion,
pepper and salt. Beat the yolks and whites separately and then add the
other ingredients. Heat some butter in a frying pan until very hot,
then pour in the mixture and keep putting a knife round the outside to
prevent the omelette adhering, and to make the uncooked centre flow
towards the rim. When nicely set fold and serve on a hot plate.
=82. Omelette aux Tomates.=
