Ways to Cook the Dasheen

70 the Editor Of WOmdH's Page!
Dear 66 nswS
ysgstabe; Can you give me Ts dirsat'orS Jor gre
A bulletin recently Issued by the United
states Department of Agriculture, Wash
iugton contains a number or dasheen
recipes among which are the following:
Baked dasheens-Whether large or small,
they may be baked like potatoes in quick
oven. Scrub them and remove any loose
fiber from the skin. Sometimes they can
be Bcraped like new potatoes. III very large
they can be cut In half TO lessen the time
for baking or parboied ten to twenty min
utes before baking Dasheens should be
served with a quantity of butter, salt and
pepper. They are mealy and have de-
cldedly nutty favor when baked,
Dasheen soup-Three cups of boiling
water, three cups milk, three cups diced
dasheen three tablespoons butter, salt and
celery TO taste and parsley or grated onion
II desired Boil and rice the dasheen, then
into double boiler put the boiling water,
ada the milk and the dasheen. Bring to a
boil and cook for from five to ten min
utes. Season and serve.
scalloped dasheens-Pare and slice raw
dashens, putting the slices in layers into a
buttered baking dish, and season each layer
with butter salt, etc. Lattice-wotlS slices,
made with a fiuted slicer, are a little more
attractive In appearance than the plain
cover with rich milk and bake. only about
tWo-thirds as much time is required in cook
ing as for scalloped potatoes. When corms
are used for scafioping II is well to discard
about three-quRrters of an inch Of the
upper or bud end. as 1t may be tough after
cooking. on account OF the firm texture
81 the dasheen. a slicer with the sliding
guard made OF wood rather than OF tin win
ha nsssssary II huted slicer Is used. This
naslaedsof serving the dasheen will be found
selgilarly we'll adapted for banquets or
zTmai dinners. and in such cases indi-
tidual baking dishes or easseroles should be
used.
Fried dasheens - Slice boiled dasheens,
either warm or cold. season with salt and
ny quickly In plenty Of fat. If fried too
loag they become dry and hard French
fried dasheens are also exceedingly good.
Boiled dashesns, while still hot, may also be
mashed or put through potato rleer mixed
with grated cheese and made into cakes or
eEoQuettes and fried. The cheese may be
emitted and the cfoquettes dipped in egg
and cracker erumbs before frying.

Prices arc no longer regulated so
