=German Cabbage.=--Take two small hard heads of red cabbage and cut in
slices half an inch thick, discarding the hard stalk and veins. Put onto
a greased wooden cookery bowl two rounding tablespoonfuls of melted
butter or vegetable oil, then add the cabbage, sprinkle with a level
teaspoonful of salt, three tablespoonfuls of vinegar and one onion
chopped fine. Put in bag, seal, and put in oven. Bake one hour with only
one burner on after the first ten minutes.
=Cabbage Hot Slaw.=--Chop a small hard head of cabbage fine and salt it
lightly. Let stand half an hour then put in wooden bowl with two
tablespoonfuls of butter. Put in bag, seal, and cook slowly in the oven
for twenty minutes. No water is necessary, as the salt will draw out the
juices of the cabbage so it will have moisture enough. At the end of
twenty minutes take up with a hot dish, add a teaspoonful of flour that
has been stirred in a little cold water, then cooked until thick with a
half cupful of cream. Lastly, add one tablespoonful of pure vinegar and
serve at once.
=Carrots.=--Wash and scrape a half dozen tender carrots. Slice thin and
season with salt, pepper and a good tablespoonful of butter. Add a half
cupful good stock, put in a well-greased bag, seal and cook thirty-five
minutes.
=Carrot Saute.=--Scrape and cook young carrots in boiling salted water
until tender. Cut in halves lengthwise, roll in fine cracker crumbs,
then in egg and cracker again, and put in well-greased bag. Bake fifteen
minutes, sprinkle with fine chopped parsley and serve very hot.
=Stuffed Eggplant.=--Select purple fruit and of small size. Halve them,
sprinkle them with salt, turn them cut side down on a fine sieve, put a
heavy plate on them and let them drain for an hour. Wipe dry, take from
each a tablespoonful of the center, chop it fine and for each
tablespoonful allow the same amount of bread crumbs, a teaspoonful of
chopped onions, olives and vegetable oil, with a little salt and a
dusting of paprika. Mound this dressing on each half, arrange the halves
in a buttered bag, pour in water to the depth of an inch, add a generous
piece of butter, salt and pepper, and place the bag in a hot oven;
twenty minutes should be sufficiently long to cook the eggplant
thoroughly.
