Beans Are Versatile

Beans are practically q universal
food Nearly every country in the
world has its representative beans
and its national dish in which they
are used. Right here in our own
country we have dozens of ways OF
using the various types of beans
from the heavy but dignified "Bos-
ton baked" to the hot-as-fire dishes
Of the great Southwest. There are
so many ways in which they may
be served!
Take, for example, the famous
Haitian concoction, "Pois ct Ris"--
really beans and rice" although the
use Of the French word "pois" In
Haiti would lead one to believe the
dish was made with peas instead of
beans. To make this, red kidney
beans are boiled until they are soft
when pressed lightly in the fingers.
But they must not be mushy. The
water is drained off the beans and set
to one side for future use.
Some lard is heated in an iron
pan and the beans are put into the
hot fat, together with pieces of salt
pork, ham or small, peppery sau-
sages. Something similar might be
purchased in a Spanish food store.)
All these are fried until lightly
Drowned. and then the bean water
and some fresh boiling water are
added.

Curnquat
Jelly

If you've been to Florida, or had
generous friends who went there
and were fortunate enough to OBJ
tain some of the delicious jellies
and marmalades made in that State
out of the tiny little cumquats now
appearing in our own markets, you
will have pretty good idea of just
how delightful the flavor of these
tangy little fruits can be. So let's
make dessert of them in the
Florida manner:
Wash and wipe q of a box of
cumquats and cut the fruit in thin
slices, crosswise. Put them in cold
water just to cover and bring them
slowly to a boil. Let them cook
gently for 40 or As minutes and
then strain the juice through a
cloth-there should be about IL
cups.
Add to this juice y cup of sugar,
4 cup of dry white wine and 2
tablespoons of orange Curacao
iquer. Heat all these to the boil
ing point and add a pinch of salt.
Dissolve l tablespoon of gelatine in
2 tablespoons of cold water and add
1t to the mixture. Strain again,
turn into mold and set to chill.
While the jelly is getting jelled,
cook the rest of the cumquats in
water until soft-leaving them
whole. Drain them, roll them in
granulated sugar and use them as
a garnish for the jelly when it is
served,
Evening star., 1944-11-30
By the Ticfory Chef

The mixture is seasoned well with
garlic, thyme, cayenne, salt and pep
per. When the water starts to boil,
some well-washed rice Is added, with
butter to taste, and all is boiled
rapidly until the rice swells and the
mixture starts getting dry. Then the
heat is reduced and the pan allowed
to simmer until the rice Is done
usually when all the water has dis
appeared. This dish, in Haiti, is
served often with a meat sauce but
can be used just by itself if pre-
ferred.
In Sweden they combine beans
with mushrooms, sliced thin, and
sauteed in butter. Some cream Is
added to the mushrooms as they be-
gin to brown and simmered over a
low flame for 8 to 10 minutes. The
seasoning is salt and pepper and a
little mustard. Just before the
mushrooms are done, an equal
amount of cooked kidney beans are
stirred in, bit more butter added,
the seasoning checked and the whole
served in a deep shell of Swedish
pastry. Without the pastry shell,
this dish is made usually with fresh
green string beans and served "as
is"
The French make a delectable
thing Of beans, especially in q dish
which they call Beans in Red
Wine" in a free translation. To
make this, l pound of kidney beans
are soaked for an hour just before
cooking. MANY chefs will tell you
Evening star., 1944-11-30

that while soaking over q long
period of time shortens the cooking
hours, 1t also takes away from the
flavor and texture of the beans.)
After soaking, the beans are
drained and put in cold water with
some salt, an onion or two, couple
of cloves, a carrot, an herb bunch
parsley, thyme and garlic and Il
pound of salt pork that previously
has been parboiled. The beans are
brought to a boil and then allowed
TO cook slowly.
An onion is chopped and Drowned
in some butter or margarine and
the salt pork is taken from the ket-
tie and cut in pieces and added to
the onion in the fat. Also a Glove
of crushed garlic and a glass Of
good dry red wine are put in. Last
come the beans, nicely drained.
Seasoning Is checked for salt and
pepper and the beans are permitted
to boil for a few minutes in the
wine and juices. If the mixture
seems too thick, little of the water
in which the beans were cooked
may be added. Just before serving,
the beans are sprinkled with
chopped parsley and perhaps .
sprinkling Of chopped chives.
Almost whole book could be
written about beans and their many
uses. And from the beans, one can
branch out to the other members
OF the legrme family, such as dried
peas, lentils and so on. A fascinat-
ing study of food that Is too often
regarded as a humdrum affair In

public who wishes to learn about
wines Is up against not only lack of
cooperation but also a definite stone
wall. 1t is too bad that the head
walters and proprietors of restau-
rants do not insist that their walters
refer to them for information about
wines, and they in turn, give helpful
advice and attention to the guest.
There are so many good domestic
wines being produced at this time
that no hotel or restaurant should
feel obliged to promote a poor i'm
ported wine over and above a prod
uct from our own vineyards.
Granted that some of our wines
are better than others, they are.
for the most part, inexpensive and
choice by the trial-and- system
will not prove too costly. For those
who like to drink a light wine, of
the vim ordinaire type with their
dinners, there are wines that NAV
be bought by the gallon for sur
prisingly low figures. From then
on up, wines for special occasions
may be had, at varying prices and
will, after little experimenting.
prove adequate for any dinner
party.
There is a great deal of unneces-
sary talk about the serving of
wines. Too much emphasis is placed
on the glasses In Europe, in the
old days, when certain vintage wines
were as delicate and rare as Jewels,
certain types of glasses were used
to catch their bouquet, enrich their
color or what have you. Certainly
we have no wines of that class here,
as yet! Any plain crystal glass,
preferably stemmed and not too
thick, will answer the purpose for
almost all of our wines.
+ Much more important is the mat
ter of temperature. That is what
makes all the difference. Wines
should not be too cold. Champagne
must be the coldest and even that
should not be SO iced that the flavor
is lost. The average refrigerator
will chill white wines and the pale
rose wines just about right. And
the richer red wines of the bur-
gundy and claret types as well as
Chianti and win ordinaire always
must be served at room tempera-
ture. Except-and here is an i'm
portant exception-in parts of this
country where room temperature is
really hot and humid. Then the
red wines should be set in the least
cold compartment of the icebox or
kept in the cellar until serving time.
