Vegetarian cooking
BARLEY JELLY.
Wash, then steep, 6 oz. of pearl barley for 6 hours, pour 31/2 pints
of boiling water upon it, stew it quickly in a covered jar in a hot
oven till perfectly soft and the water absorbed. When half done, add 6
oz. of sugar and a few drops of essence of lemon. 21/2 hours is the
correct time for stewing the barley, and it is then a better colour
than if longer in preparation. Pour it into a mould to set.
BARLEY PORRIDGE.
Take 3 tablespoonfuls of Allinson's barley, mix smoothly with 1/2 pint
of cold water, add 1/2 pint of boiling milk, and boil 5 to 10 minutes.
Pour on shallow plates to cool, then eat with Allinson wholemeal
bread, biscuits, rusks, or toast, or stewed fruits.
BARLEY PUDDINGS.
Take 2 tablespoonfuls of Allinson's barley, mix smoothly with a little
milk, pour upon it the remainder of 1 pint of milk, flavour and
sweeten to taste, boil 2 or 3 minutes, then add 2 eggs lightly beaten,
pour into a pie-dish, and bake to a golden brown. Eat with stewed,
fresh, or dried fruits.
BARLEY WATER.
Mix smoothly 2 tablespoonfuls of Allinson's barley with a little cold
water, then add it to 1 quart of water in a saucepan, and bring to the
boil. Pour into a jug, and when cool add the juice of 1 or 2 oranges
or lemons. A little sugar may be added when permissible.
BLACK CURRANT TEA.
1 large tablespoonful of black currant jam, 1 pint boiling water. Stir
well together, strain when cold, and serve with a little crushed ice
if allowed.
BRAN TEA.
Mix 1 oz. of bran with 1 pint of water, boil for 1/2 hour, strain, and
drink cool. A little orange or lemon juice is a pleasant addition.
When this is used as a drink at breakfast or tea, a little sugar may
be added to it.
BRUNAK.
Take 1-1/2 or 2 teaspoonfuls of Brunak for each large cupful required,
mix it with sufficient water, and boil for 2 or 3 minutes to get the
full flavour, then strain and add hot milk and sugar to taste. Can be
made in a coffee-pot, teapot, or jug if preferred. May be stood on the
hob to draw; or if you have any left over from a previous meal it can
be boiled up again and served as freshly made.
COCOA.
Put 1 teaspoonful of N.F. cocoa into a breakfast cup; make into a
paste with a little cold milk. Fill the cup with milk and water in
equal parts, pour into lined saucepan, and boil for 1 minute, stirring
carefully. This is best without sugar, and should be given cool.
LEMON WATER.
Squeeze the juice of 1/2 a Lemon into a tumbler of warm or cold water;
add just sufficient sugar to take off the tartness. Or the lemon may
be peeled first, then cut in slices, and boiling water poured over
them; a little of the peel grated in, and sugar added to taste.
