Pep Up Your Lenten Menus With
Chef’s Tricks in Cooking Fish
IT’S easy to be a strict conformist
to Lenten menu restrictions and
win high praise from the family for
tempting menu variety, if you mas
ter a few chef’s tricks in the mat
ter of fish serving. To begin with,
you will always be sure of fish with
real ocean-fresh flavor, no matter
how far from the surfline you live,
if you use the quick-frozen variety.
Ail chores of preparation are done
for you, and it comes to you all
cleaned, boned and filleted, with all
its tangy freshness sealed in by
quick-freezing within four hours
after it is landed on the docks.
Such shore favorites as quick
frozen red perch and quick-frozen
cod are delicious served boiled,
baked, broiled, or fried. You can
rely on various seasonings and gar
nishings to give distinctive variety
to these basic cooking methods.
Tartare sauce is a natural affinity
for fried fish, and can be easily
made by adding chopped pickle and
other ingredients to mayonnaise.
Egg sauce—hard-cooked eggs sliced
or diced in white sauce — is the
classic accompaniment *or boiled
fish. When you bake fish, the addi
tion of canned tomato, onion, green
peppers or carrots gives additional
Interest to the dish. With broiled
fish, one of the butter sauces is
vsualiy served. Lemon parsley but
ter, made by creaming 4 table
sp jons of butter, with two to
’mmsa* aw i
three tablespoons of lemon Juice
and 4 tablespoons of minced parsley,
is a zestful addition to any broiled
fish. Spread it gently on the fish as
it comes piping hot from the oven.
Lemon, in slices or lengthwise sec
tions, and crisp parsley are appe
tizing garnishes.
Broiled Fillets of Red Perch
Separate fillets; brush with mix
ture of melted butter, paprika, salt,
and pepper. Broil on well-greased
broiler 10 to 15 minutes, turning to
brown both sides.
Cod Baked with Tomato Sauce
2 packages quick-frozen fillet
of cod
2 tablespoons chopped onion
2 tablespoons finely diced celery I
2 tablespoons shredded green
pepper
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon flour
1-1/2 cups canned tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 bay leaf
1 tablespoon chopped celery
Cut fillets (frozen or thawed) in
to servings and place in buttered
shallow baking dish. Sautd onion,
celery, and green pepper in butter
until tender; add flour and mix
well. Add remaining ingredients
and cook slowly 10 to 15 minutes,
stirring occasionally. Pour over fish
and bake in hot oven (450°F.) 25 ;
to 30 minutes, or until fish is ten
der. Serves 4 to 6. i

THE new one-denier spun rayon
is especially effective in dark
background prints. Pictured above
is a smart, cap-sleeved frock, in the
gem print. The rayon fabric is wash- |
able and will give good service.
Sheer, washable spun rayons like
this one should be laundered in luke
warm water, mild soap, and ironed
with a hot iron when almost dry,
according to the American Viscose
Corporation.

Sometimes, it’s quite a problem
to vary menus for your family,
isn’t it? I have one favorite recipe
that’s inexpensive but delicious,
which I rely on for different fam
ily dinners and for company, too.
So- many of my friends have asked
for it that I thought perhaps you
might like to try it, too! And in
cidentally, if you’ve wondered how
to use those odd leftover slices of
bread, this is a grand way. Just be
sure to wrap your bread carefully
in waxed paper, and it will stay
fresh until you’re ready to use it.
Here’s my recipe for:
SWEDISH MEAT BALLS
WITH SPAGHETTI
4 slices enriched 2 teaspoons Worce*:
bread tershire Sauce
% cup water 2 strips bacon
X pound ground 3 tablespoons en
bcel riclicd flour
1 egg. beaten 2 cups milk
3 tablespoons X teaspoon meat ex
grated onion tract
1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon salt
teaspoon pepper 3 quarts boiling
% teaspoon celery water
salt 0 ounces spaghetti ~
Toast bread and soak in water 3 min
utes. Add beet. egg. onion. 1 teaspoon salt,
pepper, celery salt, and Worcestershire
Sauce. Shape into balls, allowing 2 table
spoons lor each. Brown bacon in skUlet.
Remove bacon and brown meat balls in
bacon drippings. Remove meat balls and
add flour, stirring well. Gradually add
milk and meat extract, stirring constantly
until thickened. Add meat balls and bacon
which has been broken into bits. Cover
and cook lor fifteen minutes While meat
balls are cooking, cook spaghetti. Add 1
tablespoon salt to actively boiling water.
Gradually add spaghetti and boil unUI
tender (about 12 minutes unless otherwise
specified on package directions.) Drain
and rinse. Arrange spagbetU and meat
balla on hot platter. Yield: 4 servings.
Try this recipe the next time you
1 wonder what to serve for dinner.
It’s healthful and nourishing—and
I’m sure your family will pro
nounce it delicious!
