Cook like number one, thicken with flour or corn starch, and add some
hot cream and parsley. Serve, like soup or vegetables, for breakfast or
supper, with dry whole wheat or black bread. Butter is not required at
the meal if cream is used. If the butter and cream are emulsified as in
sauces, they are more wholesome.
PEAS.
Wash the peas while in the pods, then shell. Boil the pods in a very
little water for 15 minutes, then take out and put the peas to boil in
the same water. Add a little salt and sugar when almost done. Prepare
further like creamed carrots. Some people prefer them with no dressing
except butter. Those who have difficulty in digesting starch and wish
to cut out the bread at the meal may use sauces or cream dressings with
their vegetables, especially in the winter.
MIXED PEAS AND CARROTS.
Put the peas on to boil, and when half done, add an equal amount of
carrots which have been cut into half inch pieces. Prepare with a
butter sauce like creamed carrots, and add chopped parsley. This will
afford a perfect meal for dinner in spring or summer. A few bread or
flour dumplings may be served with it. The latter should be cooked with
the peas 10 minutes before serving. Salted or smoked meats give them a
good flavor.
PEAS AND CODFISH (Saxon Dish).
Cook the peas with a very little water, and add meat broth while they
are boiling. Boil some fresh codfish in a separate saucepan, and when
done remove the skin and bones, cut into pieces and mix with the peas.
Prepare a butter sauce from the liquid remaining on the peas. Carrots
may be added.
PEAS WITH LAMB.
Boil the lamb with sufficient water to cover it. Add salt and onion.
When half done, put it to boil with the peas, which should have been
boiled with water in another saucepan for 10 minutes. When meat and
peas are done, remove the fat, thicken with flour and add the pea water
to make a butter sauce. Flavor with parsley. Use the meat broth for
soup or add the yolk of an egg or two, and serve in cups.
MIXED VEGETABLES (Leipsiger Dish).
Use asparagus tops, young French carrots, peas, and cauliflower. Cook
each vegetable separately with salt, in as little water as possible.
When done, drain the water from each and use for soup. Mix the
different vegetables in one dish and pour browned butter over them.
Serve with Lobster Curry. A butter sauce may be prepared from the
vegetable water in place of brown butter. Bread or flour dumplings may
be served with it. Lean meat is also a good combination.
CAULIFLOWER.
