SHELL FISH AND HOW TO PREPARE THEM
Miss Gertrude Brlttenhach, Sonoma
To Boil and Open a Lobster—Fill a kettle with
warm water (not boiling), put in the lobster, head
downward; add a tablespoon of salt, cover the
kettle and set It over a quick fire. A medium
sized lobster should boil a half hour, a larger one
three-quarters of an hour. Cooking them too
long makes the meat tough, which will stick to
the shell. When done and cool, separate the tail
from the body and twist off all the claws; shake
out carefully the liver of the lobster (which may
be known by its greenish color); also the coral.
Then draw the body from the shell, remove the
stomach, which Iβ found under the head, and throw
this away. Split the body through the center and
pick the meat from the cells. Cut the under side
of the tail shell, loosen the meat and take out in
one solid piece. Split and remove the little vein
which runs the entire length. It must be carefully
removed and thrown away. The stomach, the vein
and the spongy portion between the body and shell
are the only parts not edible. Crack the claws
and take out the meat.
Lobster Patties—Prepare some puff paste and
spread on deep patty pans. Extract the meat
trom two or three boiled lobsters and mince finely,
mixing with the coral, smoothly smashed, and the
grated yolk of a hard boiled egg. Season with a
little salt, cayenne, powdered mace or nutmeg and
a little grated lemon rind. Moisten the mixture
well with cream, fresh butter or salad oil. Put it
into a stewpan. add a little water, and let steam
till it comes to a boil; take from fire, and, the
patties being , baked, remove them from the tin
pane, place on a large dish and fill with the
mixture.
Oysters on the Half Shell—Use a half dozen
oysters for each person. One tablespoon tap sauce,
one-half tablespoon salt, pinch of pepper, one
tablespoon finely chopped parsley. Stir mixture
■well. Dip out equal portions of the mixture and
drop a bit on each of the oysters. Place the
oysters In the oven and bake several minutes.
Serve as you would raw oysters on the half shell.
Oyster Loaf—Take a loaf of bread, cut a slice
from the top and remove all but the crust by
scooping out the soft interior. Fill the cavity
with oysters, seasoned with salt, pepper and a
little tomato catsup. Put plenty of little pieces of
butter over the top and replace the top slice. Place
in a biscuit tin and pour over it three large spoon
fuls of oyster liquor. Bake from 20 to 25 minutes
in a brisk oven, basting with oyster liquor from
time to time. Serve very hot.
Staffed Crab—Put into a saucepan one table
spoon butter and cook with it a large slice of onion,
finely chopped. Add one tablespoon flour when
the onion is transparent, rub smooth and add
slowly one cup milk or cream. Season with salt,
paprika and lemon Juice. Add the mashed yolks of
four hard boiled eggs, the meat of six large
boiled crabs and an equal quantity of chopped
canned mushrooms. Cook till smooth and well
heated, fill crab shells with mixture, cover with
buttered crumbs and bake till brown.
Crevettes Saute au Champignons—One pound
peeled shrimps, two cans mushrooms, one-half
pint cream and one-half pint milk, one-quarter
pound butter, two tablespoons flour, one wine
glass sherry, one tablespoon lemon juice, ten drops
tabasco sauce, two tablespoons Worcestershire.
Cook mushrooms one hour. Blend flour and butter
In a hot pan, add milk and cream when cooked
to the proper consistency, add the shrimps, mush
rooms with their liquor, wine, lemon juice, tabasco,
Worcestershire. Serve in chafing dish.
Deviled Crab—Four tablespoons olive oil, one

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY,
DAINTIES FOR THE LUNCHEON TABLE
Mrs. J. J. O'Connell, 934 Eye Street N. W., Wa.hleeton. *»• C '
E«g en Case —For a luncheon dish where variety
is wanted drop an egg Into a peeled tomato which
has had the inside scraped out to make room for it.
Put the tomato into a ramekin, season it, add butter
and a little hot water, and bake until the egg Iβ set.
Spiced Fieh— Place some mixed spice in the bot
tom of a Jar, add a layer of fish, then a layer of
spice, and continue until the jar , is filled to within
two inches of the top; cover with good cider vine
pa:*, put in the oven and bake four hours. This
will of course keep and is eaten cold. It ia a dish
that all who like fish will enjoy.
Fried Cucumbera —Cut cucumbers thin and dredge
with cracker crumbs. Have frying pan very hot,
put in small lumps of butter, and when melted urfut
in slices of cucumber. Fry until brown, season with
salt and pepper and plenty of butter. Tomatoes
may be fried in the same way, using cream sauce
instead of butter.
Potato Scallop With Cheese —Make a sauce of one
tablespoon each of butter and flour and one cup of
milk. Butter a baking dish and put in six boiled
potatoes cut in thin slices and seasoned with salt,
paprika and two full tablespoons of grated cheese.
Sprinkle the sauce through and cover top with
sifted bread crumbs and a few bits of butter. Brown
in the oven and serve hot.
Tomato Sauce— One quart of canned tomatoes,
two tablespoons of butter, two tablespoons of flour,
a slice of onion; cook the tomatoes and onion
together for 10 minutes. Heat the butter in a small
frying pan and add the flour; stir over the fire
until smooth and brown, then stir into the toma
toes; cook two minutes and add one teaspoon of
celery salt, rub through a strainer fine enough to
keep back the seeds. This sauce is nice for meat,
fish and macaroni.
Green Tomato Pickle —One-half peck of green
tomatoes, six large onions, six large peppers, one
fourth of a pound of yellow mustard seed, two
tablespoons of celery salt, or more if needed. Chop
all fine, put in layers—one of tomatoes, one of
onions, one of peppers—and sprinkle salt over the
peppers, using one-half cup of salt. Let stand over
night. In the morning drain dry and put on to
boil in two quarts of vinegar, adding mustard seed
and celery salt. Cook until tender; when nearly
done add one pound of sugar. Put in airtight Jars.
Fruit Juice for Jelly— Cook fruit with one quart
of water to one gallon of fruit. Strain through a
jelly bag, put on stove, heat to boiling point and
skim well. Have jars hot and can as you would
fruit. When wanted, open, put in the required
amount of sugar and make into jelly. It will be
Just as nice as if made from fresh fruit. The juice
will keep for years canned in this way.
Oatmeal Geme— Oatmeal gems are made by pour
ing one cup of boiling water over one cup of steam
cooked oatmeal and letting it stand over night.
Mix one cup of flour, two teaspoons of baking
powder and half a teaspoon of salt, sift, mix with
the soaked oatmeal and add enough flour to make
a batter that will drop easily from the spoon. Bake
In buttered muffin tins.
Rye Mnfflne—Sift together one cup each of rye
meal and white flour; add two teaspoons of baking
powder, a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of sugar.
Mix with one well beaten egg and one cup of milk.
Bake as other muffins.
Fruit Paatiee— Wheat meal, apples, raisins, cur
rants, cinnamon, sugar and lemon peel. Make a
dough by mixing wheat meal with ice cold water,
add a little grated cocoanut, if liked; knead as
quickly as possible to a stiff, hard dough, roll very
thin. Core and chop the apples, mix with the other
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1912.
CHEAP CUTS ATTRACTIVELY SERVED
Mrs. Florence West, 131 Wool St., San Francisco
Bralaed Beef—Brown in beef fat from three to
five pounds from the back of rump, round, flank
or chuck rib; put in a deep baking dish and sprin
kle over it two tablespoons of minced carrot, salt
pork, onion and celery; add one pint of soup stock
or hot water, six peppercorns, a piece of dried
pepper and three cloves tied with six sprigs of
parsley. If water is used instead of soup stock
add one teaspoon of salt. Put on, cover and cook
in a slow oven for six hours. The Juices in the
dish should be converted into sauce. Serve the
meat on a hot dish, surrounded by butter beans or
red kidney beans. The beans should be soaked
over night If the dried variety is used, then cooked
in slightly salted water until one can be mashed
between the fingers; the water is then drained off,
butter and pepper added to the vegetables and tiny
pimolas, sliced, are laid on top of the beef to make
an effective garnish. Put the kidney beans around
the braised beef and serve.
Beef, Veal or Mutton Curry—Cut two pounds of
lean meat into squares. Place in the stewpan three
tablespoons of chopped onion, an apple cut into
slices, two cloves and an ounce of butter, stirring
the ingredients over the fire until all are slightly
browned. A tablespoon of curry powder, half
that quantity of flour and a pint of water must be
added, and when the mixture has boiled up it is
ready to receive the meat. The contents should
then be allowed to stew over a slow fire for an
hour and a half. A squeeze of lemon juice and a
pinch of salt adds the finishing touch.
Some Cooking Hint* —Try olive oil instead of
butter in seasoning macaroni, string beans and
summer squash. It gives unexpected blandness and
richness of flavor.
For apple sauce to eat with roast pork add to
two cups of the sauce one tablespoon of freshly
grated, horseradish, which has been soaked in
mild vinegar and squeezed dry. This is a German
method. ,
Spiced Beef or Sauerbraten —Take a piece weigh
ing from three to four pounds from the rump, clod,
crossrib or chuck rib; wipe with a damp cloth;
make incisions in the top of the beef and force
stripe of fat salt pork one-third of an inch wide
and as long as the meat is thick. Put the meat in
a deep dish and pour over a cup of spiced vinegar,
which is made by steeping in it one minced onion,
half a teaspoon eaoh of pepper, mustard, cloves and
allspice and a teaspoon of celery salt; to the meat
add one tablespoon of minced celery and half a
teaspoon of dry summer savory; let the meat stand
in this for 24 hours, turning occasionally. Brown
the meat in a baking dish, either granite or
earthen, never iron or tin on account of the vine
gar. When ready to cook add enough water to
cover the bottom of the kettle; place the lid on
and simmer slowly four hours, then add two tur
nips and one large carrot sliced thin and finish
cooking. When serving add beets, cooked sepa
rately, and small onions fried in deep fat. To the
Juices in the kettle add hot water enough to make
the desired gravy liked, then stir in two level
tablespoons of flour mixed smoothly with a little
cold water; simmer until it thickens and add one
level tablespoon of butter. Serve In a hot sauce
boat.
Be«f an Qratln —Put into a dish a layer of bread
crumbs, then some very thin slices of fat salt pork,
slices of cold cooked beef, onions, parsley and then
another layer of crumbs, until the dish is full;
pour over any left over gravy so as to moisten
well; bake slowly one hour.
Staffed Heart— Rinse the heart in cold water to
remove all blood; wipe and dry, then cook in salted

SOME EXCELLENT RECIPES
Mm. Ben Franklin, 207 Third Street, Petalama
Paprika Chicken—Select a tender young chicken
and after it has been cut Into joints rub the flesh
with salt and powder it with paprika. When thus
prepared put the chicken into a saucepan with a
can of tomatoes and cook them together without
adding a drop of water until the chicken Is done.
At this point arrange the chicken on a hot plat
ter, add a cup of cream to the tomato, season to
taste with paprika, add a little salt if necessary and
pour this rich sauce over the chicken Just before
you serve it. Although this is an extremely simple
dish, it would be difficult to find a more delectable
method of serving chicken.
Pepper Mangoes—Cut off the stem ends of largo
green peppers and remove the seed. Soak them In
strong brine for three days, then take eight table
spoons of chopped cabbage, four teaspoons of Eng
lish mustard seed, one teaspoon of celery seed, two
teaspoons bf chopped onion, one teaspoon each of
grated horse radish, whole peppercorns and ground
mace and a heaping tablespoon of brown sugar.
Moisten to a paste with salad oil and stuff the
peppers, tying the tips on with cord after the
peppers , have been filled. Pack in stone jar and
cover with scalding vinegar, to which has been
added half a cup of brown sugar. Let stand some
time before using.
