Budget That Meat, Serve Delicious Stews (See Recipes Below) That Meat! ""C^k' i," Today most of you horriemakefs find the meat situation actually testing your mettle. In your trips to the butcher's you may find many cuts of meat you haven't used often in the past, and less and less of the cuts you Iknow how to use and that your family has eaten rarely. But those are the meats available'for your menus, and thus I'm going to give you some first aid in preparing them. Fortunately, the cheaper cuts of meat, along with liver and kidneys and the other entrails not included in the meat rationing program are as rich in proteins and minerals as their better known relatives. Cooked correctly, they can become as popular. "Extend the meat" should become the motto of every family for the duration. The way to do it is to include umfetioned cuts plentifully J through the menus, use cereals and j meat extenders such as oatmeal and • bread crumbs on rationed cuts, and substitute fowl and cheese in the menu for steaks and chops as often ' as possible. I Veal kidneys combine with beef in this especially delightful and nutritious stew--and stretch that beef to 6erve eight people. It's a colorful main dish with bright carrots ^utton mushrooms: / ;fBeef and Kidney 8tew. (Serves < to 8) S veal kidneys 1 ponnd beef, ent in strife , 1 cap sliced carrots 1 cop sliced onion 1 cop cnbed potatoes 1 chp sliced or button BmshrooBM 1 tablespoons Worcestershire ssaof ; 1 tablespoon salt ! 2 tablespoons chopped parsley Remove skin and fat from kidneys; soak in cold, salted water for 1 hour; cover with cold water; Jbring slowly to Iboiling point. Drain; cut into Ismail pieces. Roll loeef strips in flour; brown -in hot fat. Add 4 cups stock from kidneys and cook 30 minutes. Add kidneys, vegetables, sauce and salt. Cook 30 minutes. Add parsley. Thicken if desired. Have you done much with liver? Then you know it is a dish of distinction, worthy of being served even on special occasions: Lynn Says: Ibis Week's Menn •Beef and Kidney SteiNS; Waldorf Salad Rye Bread-Butter Orange Tapioca Honey Brownies Beverage •Recipe Given far? {*. <• The Score Card: Citrus fruits, apples, Hubbard squash or acorn squash offer bargains during the cool crisp months. Include them in on your menus. What to do about those recipes calling for whipped cream? You can use a little of the cream of! the top of the bottle, if you chill it well for a day or so, and chiH the bowl which you use for whipping . ,. . and the beaters too. Some--of the brands of canned milk will also whip, if they're well chilled, along with the bowl and beaters. If you're unable to obtain chocolate or cecoa sometimes at the grocer's, use victory type of cookies utilizing honey, com syrup and the wheat flour for darker cakes. > Inexpensive delicacies to help you on the slender meat-rationed days: boiled, baked tongue with raisin or cranberry sauce; pigs feet; oxtail soup; hocks; brains; tripe with broiled mushrooms.
