Strain from a quart can of tomatoes one cupful of water. Put a layer of
the tomatoes in a baking dish, season with salt, pepper and a little
sugar, cover with a layer of bread crumbs, dot freely with bits of
butter, then put another layer of tomatoes, and lastly a layer of bread
crumbs, with bits of butter, and sprinkle with a dessertspoonful of
sugar. Bake forty-five minutes, and serve in the dish in which it is
baked.
TOMATOES WITH EGG.
Drain the water from a can of tomatoes, press them through a colander,
put into a saucepan over the fire, season with salt and pepper, a little
sugar, if acid, and a few drops of onion juice. Let them cook a little,
and just before serving add the well-beaten yolks of two eggs, stir well
until it thickens, and remove immediately from the fire or it will
curdle.
FRENCH CARROTS IN BROWN SAUCE.
Select the smallest French carrots, wash and scrape them and boil until
tender in as little water as possible. When done drain from the water,
using it to make the sauce. Put a tablespoonful of butter into a spider,
when hot stir in a tablespoonful of flour, stir until a dark brown, add
gradually the water the carrots were boiled in, season with salt and
pepper, simmer until thick and smooth, add the carrots, and when hot
serve.
FRENCH CARROTS AND PEAS.
Take a pint of young peas and two bunches of French carrots, cut in
slices or fancy shapes (stars or clover leaves), cook each vegetable by
itself in as little water as will cook them. When they are both tender
put them together into a saucepan, add a heaping tablespoonful of butter
and half a tablespoonful of flour rubbed together, and if there is not
enough water left, add enough to make a gravy. Canned instead of fresh
peas may be used; drain the water from the peas and stew the carrots in
it, and follow the recipe as above.
SPINACH PUDDING.
Make a sauce of one ounce and a half of butter, one ounce of flour, a
scant half cup of rich milk, half a teaspoonful of sugar, a grating of
nutmeg, if liked, and salt and pepper to taste. When this comes to a
boil, add an even cupful of spinach that has been cooked and finely
chopped, and from which the water has been well pressed out. Remove from
the stove, and stir into it two beaten eggs. Grease a mould, sprinkle it
with dried and sifted bread crumbs, turn the pudding into this, set the
mould in a pan of hot water, put in the oven, cover it to prevent
browning and bake nearly three-quarters of an hour. Turn out on a
platter, have ready a cream sauce to pour around the pudding, garnish
with hard-boiled eggs, cut in quarters lengthwise, and parsley. If any
is left over, cut in slices, and warm over in a cream sauce and serve
for luncheon. It will keep for days.
