Heat a can of tomatoes. Then heat some butter and oil in a flat
saucepan, thicken with mixed flour, flavor with onion, add the tomatoes
gradually, and let boil a few minutes.
STUFFED TOMATOES.
Wash the tomatoes and cut off the upper part with a sharp knife. Scrape
out the pulp and fill the tomatoes with cold chopped meat mixed with
onion and mayonnaise dressing. Garnish with lettuce and serve with
bread and butter, or as an entree.
SAUERKRAUT.
Wash the sauerkraut in cold water several times. People with sensitive
stomachs should boil it for a short time. Then drain off the water
and put on to boil again. If no meat is served with it, use a few
tablespoons of oil, lard, butter, or goose fat. Add onions and a little
sugar or some apples for flavoring. Cook from one to two hours. Then
add a little flour dissolved in cold water, or two raw grated potatoes.
Remove the apples before serving. The latter may be eaten for breakfast
or supper. If the onions disagree, remove them before serving. Good
combinations with sauerkraut are: Pea puree, pork, bacon, liver,
liver-pudding, white fish, and oysters stewed or fried.
CABBAGE ROLLS.
Wash some large cabbage leaves. Fill them with finely chopped left-over
meat, mixed with eggs. (See recipe for croquettes.) Then tie the rolls
together with a string. Steam in a shallow dish with as little water as
possible. Serve with an egg sauce. Flavor with mace.
POTATOES.
Potatoes consist mainly of starch and water. They are more expensive
than wheat, rye, oats, barley and corn. They should not be eaten
oftener than once a day, or better three times a week. People who do
hard physical or mental work should not eat potatoes at the noon meal.
Fat meats, eggs, fish and greens combine well with potatoes; if they
are served with lean meat, some fatty substance in the form of butter,
cream or gravy should be eaten with them. Fried potatoes are not
wholesome. The best way to prepare them is to boil or bake them in the
skins, or boil or mash them in cream or buttermilk.
POTATO SALAD.
Boil or steam some potatoes with their jackets on. When done, peel
and slice them into a deep bowl while warm; then sprinkle over them a
little salt, pepper, and finely chopped or grated onion, and pour over
them some boiling hot vinegar diluted with one-half water and mixed
with melted butter or oil. Cover with a saucer and shake well; let
stand for twenty or thirty minutes. If there is too much liquid, pour
off some and mix the remainder with mayonnaise dressing and chopped
parsley, if desired.
SWEET POTATOES.
Boil the potatoes in the jackets, let cool, peel, slice, and fry in
one-half butter and one-half oil. Serve with cranberry sauce, lettuce,
and lean meat.
Sweet potatoes may be peeled and sliced in the raw state, and fried in
half oil and half butter. Serve as above. They are very suitable for
breakfast.
CREAMED POTATOES.
