Nut Hash
Nut hash is a good breakfast dish. Chop fine cold boiled potatoes and
any other vegetable which is on hand and put into buttered frying pan,
heat quickly and thoroughly, salt to taste, and just before removing
from the fire stir in lightly a large spoonful of peanut meal for each
person to be served. To prepare the meal at home, procure raw nuts,
shell them and put in the oven just long enough to loosen the brown
skin; rub these off and put the nuts through the grinder adjusted to
make meal rather than an oily mixture. This put in glass jars, and kept
in a cool place will be good for weeks. It may too, be used for
thickening soups or sauces, or may be added in small quantities to
breakfast muffins and griddle-cakes.
Potato soup, cream of pea, corn or asparagus and bean soup may be made
after the ordinary recipes, omitting the butter and flour and adding
four tablespoons of peanut meal.
Nut Turkey
Nut turkey for Thanksgiving instead of the national bird, made by mixing
one quart of sifted dry bread crumbs with one pint of chopped English
walnuts--any other kind of nuts will go--and one cupful of peanuts,
simply washed and dried, and adding a level teaspoon of sage, two of
salt, a tablespoon of chopped parsley, two raw eggs, not beaten, and
sufficient water to bind the mass together. Then form into the shape of
a turkey, with pieces of macaroni to form the leg bones. Brush with a
little butter and bake an hour in a slow oven and serve with drawn
butter sauce.
A dinner roast made of nuts and cheese contains the elements of meat.
Cook two tablespoons of chopped onion in a tablespoon of butter and a
little water until it is tender, then mix with it one cupful each of
grated cheese, chopped English walnuts and bread crumbs, salt and pepper
to taste and the juice of half a lemon; moisten with water, using that
in which the onion has been cooked; put into a shallow baking dish and
brown in the oven.
