Delicious combinations of peas, shaped carrots, flageolets, etc.,
can be had in bottles. Drain them, and put in a saucepan with 1
tablespoon of butter and some pepper and salt. When hot serve or add
1/2 cup of cream. Serve to garnish, or alone, or use to fill peppers,
or tomatoes, or patties.
VEGETABLE CHOWDER
Pare and slice in rather thick slices, enough potatoes to make 4 cups,
and prepare the same amount of shredded cabbage, and sliced onions. Put
2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan, and when melted add the onions,
and cook them for ten minutes. Butter a large casserole, arrange over
the bottom a layer of sliced potato, then a layer of cabbage, then
one of onions, seasoning each with pepper and salt, and sprinkling
with chopped hard-boiled egg, and so fill the dish. Pour 2 cups of
milk, into which 1 tablespoon of flour has been made smooth, over
the chowder, set the dish in a shallow pan of water, and bake slowly
for one hour. If the milk cooks away add a little more during the
cooking. The same dish can be made in a kettle, in which case halve
the potatoes and cook for three quarters of an hour.
VEGETABLE PIE (ST. GEORGE'S HOUSE)
Boil enough carrots, turnips, and large white haricot beans to make
a 1/2 cup of each when chopped or sliced after cooling, and enough
potatoes to make a scant cup when sliced. Slice enough Bermuda onions
to make 1/2 cup, and fry in butter until golden brown; then mix the
onions and prepared vegetables, and add to them 1/4 cup each of canned
peas, green beans, and tomatoes. Season well with salt and pepper,
stir in 1 teaspoon of chopped parsley, dampen with the water in which
the haricot beans cooked, heap into a deep baking dish, cover with
a good crust, and bake until slightly browned.
VEGETABLE HASH
Chop separately 5 medium-sized potatoes, 2 sweet green peppers
(carefully seeded), 5 fresh tomatoes, 1 cup of boiled beets (1/2 a
can), and 2 raw onions.
Put 2 tablespoons of butter in a frying pan, and when melted add
the chopped onions, and let simmer slowly for five minutes, then
add the tomatoes and let simmer another five minutes, then put in
the potatoes, the peppers, and the beets. Dredge well with salt and
pepper, and, stirring occasionally, let all cook slowly until the
juices are nearly absorbed; then let the hash brown on the bottom,
and turn out with the brown on top. Garnish with squares of toast.
