HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN MOLE
Tasty Supper Dish That Is Something
Of Novelty.

This is tasty supper dish that may
be made from fowl that is too old
for cooking in the ordinary way. Aft
er 1t is pucked and drawn wash the
fowl and put it into an enameled
saucepan with cold water to cover;
add small oniCn. two cloves and
four peppercorns and one slice of lean
ham: place over moderate fire and
simmer gently until the meat falls
from the bone. When about half
done, add teaspoonful of salt. When
done take the meat from the bones
and cut into small pieces not over
one-half inch square; put the bones
and skin back into the saucepan and
boil until the liquor is reduced to one
and half pints, then strain and sea
son to taste. Mix with this the chick
en-, pour the whole into mold and
stand 1t in cold place over night.
When hard and cold, turn out OF the
mold. garnish with parsley and serve.

CHICKEN A FAvoRiTE DISH.
Most Appetizins Dainty When Cooked
En- Casserole.

The charm of cooking en- casserole
is in the delicious blending Of flavors
that 1t accomplishes. And one can
have meat as well as vegetables, all
from the same dish and with equally
good flavor. Perhaps the most popu-
lar casserole dish is chicken. To pre-
pare this the chicken should be washed
and wiped very carefully and thor
oughly, then buttered all over and
dipped in -four. The chicken Is then
laid In the bottom of a good sized cas-
serole and two cups of soup stock are
added. II vegetables are desired with
1t dozen small onions are put in
whole, with couple of large potatoes
cut into about two dozen small balls,
one carrot cut into fancy shapes, two
handfuls Of string beans, two stalks of
celery, a Glove OF garlic, whole, salt and
pepper, sprig Of parsley and one
turnip cut into fancy shapes. All these
are laid around the chicken and the
casserole is then put In the oven to
stay for an hour and quarter. II the
vegetables are young and fresh tlsen it
Is best to put them in after the chick
en- has cooked for 20 minutes. But IL
they are old then they can be started
when the chicken is. and both will be-
come tender and done at the same
time.
