Spanish DisL es,

Having acquired possession Of some Of
SPANS territory, Americans are adopt
inc promptly such of the famous Spanish
dishes as appeal to the palate, either on
first taste or on continued acquaintance.
If one doesn't like onions and oil, how
ever, or doesn't mean to try to like them,
he may as we'll forswear Spanish cookery
at the outset, for they are ingredients
that are lacking in few of the dishes
dear to the SDaniards. In all the IA
gouts the savOry onion or garlic predomi-
mates. Fish are always fried in OIL
which is really nice when one gets used
to it.
They have some excellent ways OF
cooking steak among the Spaniards. One
need not buy the most expensive cuts; a
piece of rump will do. Cut two pounds
of it into strips, fry in butter till
Drowned, add two TaDiespoonfuls of rice
boiled i'll pint of water with two onions,
two large red peppers, chopped, with q
pinch Of salt, and let simmer until the
steak is Drowned and the rice tender.
Ham, oysters, chicken or shrimps may
be prepared in the same way.
Here is another recipe for steak that
is excellent Cut in strips as before,
fry in butter, add tablespoonful OF
flour q dozen red chillies soaked in wa
ter until tender and pounded to a pulp,
some garlic and two cloves. This is ali
TO be covered tightly and let simmer
until the steak is tender and the gravy a
rich brown.
These dishes will commend themselves
to the chatting dish cranks as they can
readily be prepared in it.
A Spanish dessert that is timely just
now is made with basis of fresh, ripe
bananas, crushed and rubbed through
a sieve, to which are added the juice
of two oranges and one ounce and a half
