The Eggplant and the Tasty Dishes It
Makes.


This late summer vegetable is now in It's
prime and it's meaty pulp may be trans
formed into a surprising number of very
tasty and substantial dishes, all of them
most suitable and satisfying substitutes for
meat dishes and far more in accordance
with the season for at least the lighter
meals of the day than animal food. The
most common method of cooking 1t is to
slice and fry. Done properly you have
wholesome and appetizing food, but too
frequently the fried eggplant placed be-
fore you Is an abomination to beware OF,
especially when soaked full OF grease or
fried in a batter. There is decidedly an
art in frying the thin slices in manner
which will give as a result rich and evenly
colored brown slices, delicately crisp on the
surface, tender but dry and firm of texture
inside and without suspicion OF the rat
in which they were fried. If sufficient fat
Is used to float the slices and not a few
spoonfuls of fat, placed In a frying pan as
for a saute. this food will be much more d.
gestible and retain that peculiar flavor
dishes rather than to consider 1t in the
light of vegetable only. A very simple
mode of preparing 1t for the breakfast ta-
BILE is to cut 1t into quarter-inch slices. pare
quickly, Season with salt and pepper, dip
into beaten egg, then cover with fine, dry
bread crumbs and fry in deep, hot fat until
beautiful crisp brown crust Is formed.
Do not flour in order to make the egg
stick. II each slice is dipped and crumbed
soon cut the egg will not slide off,
but If you have any difficulty of the kind
first press the slices down in the crumbs,
then dip In the egg and again in the
crumbs. For quick cooking the crumbs are
better to use than the uncooked flour.
Broiled Eggplant.
Take small elephants. do not pare, but
split in halves lengthwise, season with salt
and pepper and brush well with oil: broil
until tender. place on hot dish on a bed
of cress. with cut side up, and serve with
butter sauce.
Eggplant Baked.
Take a young tender eggplant peel and
with half cup of boiling water; simmer
very gently until tender, but not quite done
about ten or fifteen minutes; then drain
as dry as possible, squeezing out all the
water. Meanwhile fry two small chopped
onions in two tablespoonfuls of butter then
remove from the fire, stir in the drained
eggplant. tablespoon of chopped parsley,
a teaspoonful of salt. dash Of cayenne,
pinch of pepper, two tablespoonfuls Of
butter and two tablespoonfuls of Worces-
tershire sauce. Stir and cook until the but
ter is entirely absorbed, then turn into
buttered and crumbed baking dish. cover
the top with thick layer of buttered
crumbs and a light sprinkling of cheese;
bake in moderately hot oven for twenty
of twenty-five minutes. 1t will require a
quart of pulp for the quantity of other in
gradients given.
