With plentiful supplies of
beef 09 the market you'll want
to serve it freauently. Tender
pot-roasts are a favorite among
many folks. To blend the out
standing flavor of beef with to
mato sauce and onion, prepare
a Spanish pot-roast following
the recipe below. Show off the
pot-roast by placing it on a bed
of fluffy rice and topping with
the savory sauce. -I
The clue to a tender, moist
pot-roast is cooking it slowly.
Cooking at a high temperature
dries out the meat, making it
stringy. A pot-roast is always
cooked by the moist heat meth
od known as braising. Three
steps to follow are (1) Brown
the meat thoroughly on both
sides. For a deeper brown,
dredge the meat with seasoned
fiour first. (2) Add from V to
Vi cup of liquid and cover the
meat closely. It may be neces
sary to add more liquid as the
meat cooks. (3) Let it simmer
until tender. Cooking time for
a S to 4-pound beef arm or
blade pot-roast will be 3 to 4
hours.
Spanish Pot-Roast
3 to 4-pound arm or blade
pot-roast
1 large onion, sliced
3 tablespoons lard or drip
pings 2 cups tomatoes'
2 teaspoons salt
V teaspoon pepper
Brown onion in lard or drip-
nines. Remove onion and brown
the meat on both sides. Add
onion, tomatoes and seasonings.
Cover closely and simmer un
til tender, allowing 3 to 4 hours
for cooking. Thicken liquid for
gravy. 6 to 8 servings.
Crab Tops
In Seafood
Fresh-caught, fresh-cooked
Dungeness crab is available in
most markets at reasonable
prices (for crab, that is); per
haps we should say more
reasonable than in recent
months. For a gourmet's de
light,; serve with fresh aspa-
ragus and fresh starawberries,
baked rhubarb - or ,: maybe
rhubarb pie. ' -..-'
Stuffed Dungeness Crab
Make 1 cuo cream sauce
add V teaspoon salt, dash of
cayenne, 1 tablespoon sherry
wine, 2 tablespoons finely
minsed celery, 12 capers and
2 cuds cooked crabmeat. Place
in crab shells or casseroles;
dust with fine crumbs; dot
with butter. Place in shallow
pan; bake in moderate oven,
375 degrees for 15 minutes
or until brown. MaKes o
servings.

wlth; many cuts wearing ex

Pot roasts are made from
blade, round bone and bone
less chuck (from the shoulder),
rump and heel of round. Econ
omy steaks are round and
blade bone chuck steaks, round
and flank steaks which should
be braised and that means
browned, then slowly cooked,
adding a little liquid from
time to time. For more rib-
sticking goodness, choose stew
meat which is really bargain

Cheese Plentiful
Good old American cheddar,
mild or sharp, makes a fine,
satisfying, thrifty main dish,
Cookery specialists remind us
that we must go easy on the
heat ' when ' cooking with
cheese.- To speed melting and
blending, cut cheese in small
pieces. For cheese sauce, 1
cup of finely grated cheese to
1 cup hot white sauce is right.
Frozen fish fillets continue
