17. NUT PASTE.
A nourishing paste for sandwiches is made by macerating pine-kernels with the "nut butter" attachment of the food chopper, and flavouring with a little fresh tomato juice. This must be used the same day as made as it will not keep.
Another method.—Put equal quantities of pea-nuts and pine-kernels into a warm oven until the latter just begin to colour. The skins of the pea-nuts will now be found to rub easily off. Put the mixed nuts through the macerator and mix to a stiff paste with some tomato juice. Put in a saucepan and heat to boiling point. Pour melted butter over top. This may be kept until the next day, but no longer.
18. NUT AND LENTIL ROAST AND RISSOLES.
Proceed as for nut roast or rissoles, but use cold stewed lentils (see recipe) in the place of bread-crumbs.
19. PINE KERNELS, ROASTED.
Put on a tin in a warm oven, bake until a very pale golden colour. On no account brown. Serve with vegetable stew.
20. RICE, BOILED.
1 cup unpolished rice, 3 cups water.
Put the rice on in cold water, and bring it gradually to the boil. Boil hard for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. Draw it to the side of the stove, where it is comparatively cool, or, if a gas stove is used, put the saucepan on an asbestos mat and turn the gas as low as possible. The water should now gradually steam away, leaving the rice dry and well cooked. Serve plain or with curry.
