STEAKS V- DOLES By HELEN HALE IF YOUR roast does not appear to have enough fat on it to roast properly, lay strips of fat across the top of it. Eating quality will be im proved by adding the fat. Have you ever tried sauteed liver with mushrooms? The liver used may be cut in strips or pieces, dipped in seasoned flour and served with heat ed, broiled in butter mushrooms, chopped, crowns or sliced crowns. After peeling, slicing and soaking eggplant in cold, salted water, layer it in a casserole with peeled, sliced tomatoes. Top with Swiss or Par mesan cheese and buttered bread crumbs and bake slowly for an hour. It's a vegetable treat! RECIFE OF TIIE WEEK Special Baked Potatoes (Serves 6) 6 potatoes 1 teaspoon salt V cup hot milk 2 tablespoons butter Is cup minced corned beef cup grated American cheese Paprika Select large, uniform potatoes. Scrub and bake in a hot (400) oven for an hour to an hour and one-half or until tender. Cut in halves lengthwise, scoop out in sides and mash; whip until creamy after adding salt, milk and butter. Fold in corned beef. Refill shells: sprinkle with cheese and paprika. Bake in a moderate oven (350) for 10 minutes. When roasting veal, plan to have the gravy made with sour cream for extra flavor. Add sour cream to gravy after it's prepared, just before serving time. Bits of chopped maraschino cherry and juice added to sugar or icebox cookies make a delightful variation. Small red beets which have been cooked and then scooped out leaving a shell, may be filled with horse radish. These make an excellent gar nish around any beef roast. Slivers of carrots, green peas and slivered green beans may be added to soup stock or any creamed soup for a colorful as well as tasty vege table soup. It's a wonderful way to use leftover vegetables. A well spiced sausage spread with cream cheese makes a delightful sandwich on thinly sliced and but tered rye bread.
