Diet in disease
1/2 cup canned tomatoes
1/2 cup water
1 slice bread
2 tsp. butter
1/4 tsp. salt
Pour tomatoes and water in a saucepan and allow to cook slowly for 20
minutes, add salt and a dash of pepper. Toast and butter the bread,
pour the cooked tomatoes over it and serve at once.
FRENCH DRESSING
_131 calories_
1 tbs. oil
1/3 tbs. vinegar, or lemon juice
Dash of pepper and salt
Have all ingredients cold; mix salt and pepper together; stir in the
oil, add vinegar or lemon juice slowly, beating briskly to form an
emulsion; use immediately or ingredients will separate.
Use as little salt as possible in nephritic conditions.
MAYONNAISE DRESSING
_2109 calories_
1 egg (yolk only)
2 tbs. lemon juice (or vinegar)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. mustard (dry)
Dash red pepper
1 cup olive oil
Method of Mixture: Mix dry ingredients with yolk of egg thoroughly;
add all the acid (use Dover beater). Now add, one teaspoonful at a
time, the olive oil; beat continually until the mixture thickens
(after 8 teaspoons of oil have been added). Put in oil by
tablespoonfuls until all is incorporated. This method shortens the
time of making at least one-half, and the dressing rarely curdles as
it often does in the old methods.
Whipped cream may be added to dressing before serving. Mayonnaise will
keep if placed in a cool place, and the above quantities are more
easily handled than smaller amounts.
