.

(2) The seasonings of butter, salt, and pepper
are added.

(3) The vegetable pulp is added in any desired
quantity, usually about two tbsp. to one cup of
liquid.

A special recipe should be given for cream of tomato soup, so that the
proportion of soda may be correct.

NOTE.--If flavours of onion, bay-leaf, parsley,
etc., are desired, these should be cooked with
the vegetables, so as to be extracted in the
vegetable water.

OUTLINE OF LESSONS ON COOKING SEEDS

CEREALS: WHEAT, OATS, CORN, RICE, RYE, BARLEY

1. Forms in which used:

(1) Whole or cracked grains--rice, cracked
wheat, coarse oatmeal, etc.

(2) Granular--corn meal, cream of wheat, fine
oatmeal, etc.

(3) Rolled or flaked grains--wheat, oats, corn,
rice, etc.

(4) Powdered--wheat flour, rice flour, etc.

2. Cooking cereals for breakfast:

For 1 cup of water use 1/4 tsp. of salt and the
following cereal--

Whole or cracked--1/4 cup of cereal

Granular--3 tbsp. of cereal

Rolled or flaked--1/2 cup of cereal.

Put salt and water in the inner part of a double boiler, and set
directly over the fire. When steaming hot, gradually stir in the dry
cereal, and keep stirring until the starch has thickened and boiled.
Stir carefully, so as not to break the flakes of rolled cereals. Then
set the inner dish inside the outer part of the double boiler, in which
there should be boiling water, and cook from two to four hours.

NOTE 1.--Rice has very tender cellulose and
cooks in 3/4 hr.

NOTE 2.--Rolled or flaked cereals have been
steamed an hour or more to soften them for
rolling, so require less cooking.

NOTE 3.--Cereals may be cooked for breakfast
the day before, but _should not be stirred
while being re-heated_.

LEGUMES: PEAS, BEANS, LENTILS

1. Forms in which used:

(1) Ripe seeds

(2) Meals--pea meal, etc.

2. Cooking of dried legumes:

(1) Soak in cold, soft water for twelve hours
or more, and then drain and rinse. Hard water
may be softened by boiling, or by the addition
of soda (1/8 tsp. of soda to 1 pt. of water).

(2) Cook by _simmering_ in softened water until
they are soft.
