TOMATO SOUP

(For recipe see Page 40.)

FRIED CHICKEN

Dress, clean and disjoint two chickens. Rub chicken over with a half
lemon cut in half lengthwise, sprinkle with salt, pepper and dredge with
flour. Saute in hot Cottolene until richly browned, turning often.
Reduce heat, cover and let cook slowly until tender. It may be necessary
to add a little moisture (about 1/4 cup of hot stock or water). Remove
to serving platter and surround with Corn Fritters. Pass Cream Gravy.

CREAM GRAVY

1/4 cup butter.
1 slice onion.
1/4 cup flour.
1-1/2 cups well-seasoned chicken stock.
1/2 cup hot cream.
1/2 teaspoon salt.
1/8 teaspoon pepper.

PROCESS: Cook butter in a sauce-pan with onion until onion is delicately
browned. Remove onion, add flour mixed with seasonings; stir to a smooth
paste and brown lightly. Add hot stock gradually, stirring constantly.
Add hot cream and beat until smooth and glossy. The color of this sauce
is that of Cafe au Lait.

CORN FRITTERS

2 cups grated corn.
1/4 cup milk.
1-1/3 cup flour.
2 teaspoons sugar.
1/3 cup melted butter.
1 teaspoon salt.
1/8 teaspoon pepper.
3 eggs well beaten.

PROCESS: Mix corn, milk, flour, sugar and salt, add eggs. Drop by
tablespoonfuls on a hot well-greased griddle and cook as griddle cakes
until browned on one side; then turn and brown the other side.

CAULIFLOWER SALAD

Marinate a prepared cauliflower (see recipe on Page 95) with French
Dressing, to which add one tablespoon finely chopped chives. Dispose in
a nest of peppergrass, water cress, endive or lettuce heart leaves.
Sprinkle with grated Edam cheese.

1/2 teaspoon salt.
