Part 7 (2/2)

Mock Sausage (8)

Lima beans, dried, 1/2 cup Bread crumbs, 1/3 cup b.u.t.ter, 3 tablespoons Egg, 1 Pepper, few grains Salt, 1/4 teaspoon Sage, 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon

Pick over and wash beans, cover with water, and let soak over night.

Drain; cook in boiling salted water until tender, about one and one-half hours. Force through a strainer, add remaining ingredients. Shape into form of sausages, roll in crumbs, egg, and crumbs again. Saute in fat until brown. It requires about two-thirds cup crumbs and one-half egg for dipping sausage. May be garnished with fried apples.

Baked Soy or Togo Beans (6)

Soy beans, known in the retail market as togo beans, resemble navy beans in some ways. They contain, however, a considerable amount of fat. For this reason neither pork nor other fat is used in cooking them unless it is wanted for flavor. They are considerably richer in protein also.

Wash and pick over one quart of soy beans. Cover with boiling water, boil for 10 minutes, and soak over night in the same water. In the morning pour off and save the water. Pour cold water over the beans and rub them between the hands to remove the skins, which will float off in the water.

Removing the skins in this way takes only two or three minutes and greatly improves the quality of the dish. If a few skins are left on, they will do no harm, unless the dish is being prepared for a person of poor digestion.

Drain the beans, pour over them the water in which they were soaked, and cook until tender at a temperature just below the boiling point. Pour off the water, put the beans into a bean pot, cover with cold water, add one and one-half tablespoonfuls of salt, and bake four or five hours in a covered dish. Remove the cover and bake one hour more.

Peanut Loaf (10)

Chopped peanuts, 1 cup Bread crumbs, 2 cups Egg, 1 Milk, 1 cup Salt, 1-1/2 teaspoons Paprika, 1/4 teaspoon Melted fat, 1 tablespoon

Mix dry ingredients, add beaten egg and milk. Put into a greased pan, pour the melted fat on top, bake. Turn on a hot platter and serve with sauce.

Sauce for Loaf

Hot water, 1 cup Beef cube, 1 Juice 1 lemon Fat, 2 tablespoons Flour, 2 tablespoons Salt, 1/2 teaspoon Paprika, 1/8 teaspoon Few grains nutmeg
