Meat Substitute 



Impelled by economy and war duty, 

 housekeepers are collecting meat sub- 

 stitute dishes. These dishes are high 

 in protein value and should be served 

 in place of meat and in combination 

 with fresh vegetables. Potatoes and 

 tomatoes combine well with bean 

 dishes. Cornbread and a green salad 

 make an excellent combination with 

 the fish kedgeree. 



Beans and Rice. — 2 cups cooked kid- 

 ney bean, 2 cups cooked rice, 4 cups 

 tomato sauce. To make the tomato 

 sauce: Brown three tablespoons of 

 flour in quarter cup of drippings or 

 vegetable oil and mix with one quart 

 of strained tomatoes and one table- 

 spoon grated onion. Cook sauce five 

 minutes; combine hot rice and beans; 

 pour over them the hot sauce and 

 serve. 



Creamed Peas or Beans. — 1 pint dry 

 peas or beans, % cup milk, 1 teaspoon 

 drippings, 2 teaspoons syrup, 1 teaspoon 

 sail, pinch red pepper. Soak beans in 

 cold water over night or until hulls rub 

 off easily; rub between hands until all 

 skins are removed; boil slowly with 

 just enough water to cover them until 

 thoroughly done; pass through a ricer; 

 add other ingredients; whip as for 

 creamed potatoes; serve hot. 



Fish Kedgeree. — 1% cups flaked 

 cooked fish, 1 egg, 4 tablespoons rice, 

 1 teaspoon chopped onion, salt and pep- 

 per to taste, 2 tablespoons drippings. 

 Wash rice and drop slowly into fast- 

 boiling water, with a teaspoon of salt, 

 and boil fast until tender (about twenty 

 minutes). Drain well and dry in a 

 colander. Boil the egg hard, cool it in 

 cold water, and chop it coarsely. Melt 

 the fat in a saucepan, stir in the cooked 

 rice, add the fish and seasoning. Make 

 it very hot, then add the chopped egg, 

 and serve at once. If onion is liked, 

 fry it lightly in the fat before putting 

 in the rice.
