The Chef Saws

1t won't be long now before rabbits
will be coming to market-and I
imagine with other meat prices
soaring, the bunnies will be more
popular than ever this year.
The thrifty French long have
made much of the rabbit-or hare,
as it is over there. "Civet of hare"
is a famous dish, much appreciated
by epicures. The real French civet
is always made with the blood of the
animal to enrich the favor and tex
ture of the gravy.
There are two excellent recipes
for preparing rabbit or hare in the

Lately, we've been dabbling with
pressure cookery-usually a mat
ter of horror to real chefs who be-
lieve in the time-honored methods
of preparation However, we find
that a number of dishes actually
are improved vastly by the pressure

ones have been adopted for perma-
nent use in our household. We hope
further investigation with the mir
acle" will yield others, which we

four "knucks" thoroughly, drain and

simmer until the meat is tender.
When done, skim some fat on the
gravy and add some meat extract
for additional richness. Pour this
over the rabbit on serving platter.
For the civet, get the butcher to
save the blood of the hare or rabbit
for you. Cut the bunny in pieces as
for stew. Salt and pepper them
well. Mix bay leaf, little thyme,
a large onion. chopped fine, 3 table
spoons olive oil and Y cup of brandy
and marinate the rabbit in this for
three to four hours. Chop up the
liver and marinate it separately in
a cup of red wine.
When ready to cook, dice up
slice of raw ham-fat and all. Chop
a large onion fine and saute it in 4
tablespoons butter or margarine.
When golden, add the ham and
blend in a couple of tablespoons OF
-four. Add the pieces of rabbit, to-
gether with the marinade, and toss
in about / Il pints of red wine. Add

carefully blended to give an elusive
favor. Fresh parsley juice is the
secret Of the olive-green color.
The originator of this recipe, by
the way, is an ex-Washingtonian
who has always had a fair for the
unusual in food. After taking up
residence on her farm in New York
State she began a study of old FAM
lily recipes, and now has four of these
old recipes ready for the trade.
Other products from the farm that
are available locally include home

THE OLD RED CRADLE ROCKED

From Mrs. L. M. r., Washington. J
Here is the poem, THE Old Red

week end look over the range and
volume of the fall crop of fruits and
vegetables. They're bright spot
on the current food picture, and
more, they're thrifty. We should
make full use of these perishable
foods and so lessen the demand for
the staples that can be shipped
abroad.
The abundance of fresh produce
! saw as I shopped this morning
certainly offers variety for every
taste and every size pocket book.
The root vegetables included beets,
parsnips, carrots, rutabagas, sweet
potatoes and don't forget onions
and Irish potatoes when you're try
ing to make both ends of the budget
meet. But this is only beginning
there were tender green lima beans,
okra, spinach and kale done up in
packages or turnip tops, kale, mus
tard green's and rape in bulk, fine
white cauliflower, fresh green broc-
coli, Brussels sprouts, purple egg
plant, red and green peppers, let
tuce, red and green cabbage, celery,
fat red radishes, plenty of greens
for the salad bowl, leeks. and 8
different varieties of squash
Before I go any further with this
list, how many times do you vary
the way you prepare these vege-
tables? Is it always just creamed
or plain with butter sauce? Did
you ever try sprinkling beets, while
they're still hot, with a teaspoon
of herb vinegar? Or this easy treat
ment on broccoli-mix third of s
cup of melted butter or oil with 2
tablespoons of herb vinegar and 2
Of mustard sauce, add salt and pep
per to taste, beat it up we'll and
pour it over the fresh cooked vege-
table.
