How to Prepare Peppers and
Other. Seasonable Vegetables
Lilian Tingle Gives Recipes for Tempting Dishes of Okra, Celery Boot and
Bed Cabbage, All Now in Market.
BT LILLIAN TINGLE.
A KINDLY correspondent, who Is
evidently a "dressed vegetable"
enthusiast after my own heart,
has sent me a recipe, for stuffed pep
pers which she hopes I will try before
peppers become scarce and expensive.
I have, tried the recipe and found It
very much to my taste, and now wish
to show my appreciation by handing It
on to other pepper lovers. -
Tor lx large bell peppers take 5
eggs, half a Cup butter. 1 can shrimps
or about a' cop of fresh shrimps, lhi
cups fine sifted bread or cracker
crumbs. 1 tanblespoon Worcester
crumbs. 1 tablespoon Worcester
juice tarragon vinegar for choice; 1
green pepper very finely chopped; a
daab of cayenne or tabasco sauce, and
salt to taste the amount depending upon
the saltness of the butter and shrimps.
Cream the butter and beat up the eggs
lightly wtth It. Then beat tn the other
ingredients. The shrimps should be cut
In small pieces, but not chopped down
beyond recognition. Cut off the stems
and remove the seeds from the peppers,
which should be carefully selected both
as to shape and size, and fill them with
the mixture. Place on a greased baking
tin and bake 30 minutes or until the pep
pers are tender. The mixture should
rise a little in the. peppers souffle
fashion and should be slightly browned
on top.
' This, of course, with the quantity of
eggs and the shrimps, gives a fairly
substantial dish, which may well take
the place of. meat at .luncheon or sup
per. The stuffing may be varied by
using finely chopped celery and a sus
picion of onion in place of tne ebrimpa. j

Nemo style is always perfect; and "Nemo durability" has become a trade

Tomato sauce may be served with the
peppers, if liked. There are several other
vegetables for which this -same filling
could be used. '
Here is another pepper stuffing which
has proved rather popular: Green pep
pers stuffed with oysters. Chop fine
one- green pepper, and a large slice of
onion: saute in 3 spoonsful butter, but
do not brown. Parboil 1 pint small
oysters. Add these, with the pepper,
onion, butter and oyster liquor (enough
to moisten) to 3 cups bread crumbs. The
crumbs are best if freshly made from
stale bread. They should, of course, be
sifted. Add pepper, salt, cayenne and
a dash of lemon juice. Fill the pre
pared peppers, cover with - crumbs mois
tened, with butter, and bake until the
mixture Is heated through and the surface
slightly browned.
Mrs. R. F. (Portland) asks for some
recipes for using okra. Never having
lived in the South, I do not feel compe
tent to speak with full authority about
this. But here is a recipe for "Okra
Saute a la Creole," which I make some
times: Chop a peeled onion, a small clove of
garlic, half a green pepper pod. Saute
in a little butter, but do not brown: Add
about 4 or 6 tomatoes, peeled and cut
In quarters, and simmer until soft. Then
add about a dozen okra pods, which have
been washed, trimmed and boiled. Add
salt, pepper, cayenne, a teaspoonful of
lemon juice and a pinch of sugar. 61m
nfer until the mixture thickens; serve
on toast. You should go to a real South
ern cook for chicken gumbo recipes. I
hardly venture to tread on such -sacred
ground. You may. however, like to try
fried okra as served with chicken In a
certain New York restaurant of some re
pute. Trim and parboil young tender pods
of okra; drain and dip in beaten egg, to
which a squeeie of lemon juice has been
added, and roll in well seasoned, sifted
bread crumbs. Fry in salad oil deep
enough to cover. Drain carefully on
paper. Serve with chicken, or alone with
tomato sauce as an entree.
Celeriac, or root celery, is very good
just now. Many women use It only as
a soup flavoring or plainly boiled with
white sauce. It Is. however, capable of
many variations of treatment and serv
ing. Used raw, It makes a good salad
filling, especially with shrimps or crab;
while the German celery salad made frorn
the cold sliced vegetable Is one of the
dinner salads. Served hot with Hollan-
daise eauce. It ta wormy, or .respect, ana
