JFEDFORD MAIL TRIBUXE, MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 193?. PAGE FIVE Old World Recipes for Cabbage Add New Zest There 1b one vegetable which should appeal to bargain, huntera Just now more than usual. It costs actually less than It coat a year ago, and It was then comparatively cheap we thought. This la old friend cab bage, of such ancient and honorable lineage that It ranks with wheat and rice and beans In the history of the human race. We eat more - cabbage In this country than any other vegetable except potatoes. Certainly we come by the taste very naturally. Our forefathers were cabbage eaters long before they came to America for; generations back and even beyond the ancient world of Greece and Rome and Egypt. The early settlers of America brought their cabbages with them across the sea and we are still planting and eating this transplanted product of the kitchen gardens of Europe. Which is all very much to the good, says the bureau of home eco nomics of the U. 8. department of agriculture, for cabbage is one of the best of leafy vegetables as well as one of the cheapest. It supplies minerals and vitamins - which we must have, and we need the leafy roughage, too, for good digestion. There was however. In the light of what we know today, something very wrong about the old-time ways of cooking cabbage. Look over some of the old cook books and you will see. "Steam VA hours," "bake for 2 hours," "boll 3 hours.' and so on such are the directions, over -and why over again. That explains, prob ably, why some people do not like cabbage, and many abominate the odor which pervades the house when cabbage Is cooked In the old, long time way. But if you cook cabbage five, ten. or fifteen minutes only. Instead of hours, those complaints will be disposed of. Jellcate flavor, delicate texture, and no "cabbage odor" at all In the house are the re sults of short-time cooking. More Important still, by short-time cook ing you prevent the loss of food val ue that comes from long cooking of the foods which, like cabbage, are rich In vitamin C. There is much to be learned, how ever, from the old-world ways of serving cabbage, even If they did cook It to death. We steam or boil and butter It. we cream it and scallop It, we use It In slaw hot and cold. and in salads. But there are other ways we might copy especially from Germany, Scandinavia, Russia, and the Near East. For example: The Russian dish called tsche Is a beef stew with cabbage, onions, leeks, a parsnip, and sour cream. Look at the recipe to see how tempting that is. There Is the German steamed cab bage, which combines dellciously with ham, or any other meat for that mat ter. This Is seasoned first with vine gar, and later with a little sweet cream or top milk. Then there la German fried sauerkraut fried In fat in which some onions have been browned. Cooked macaroni is added to this savory dish. Or there Is cabbage with sausage the sausages fried and arranged on a hot platter with chopped cabbage which has been cooked for 6 minutes in a little fat. There Is cabbage scal loped with bread crumbs and cheese; or cabbage and carrots In a lamb stew: or sweet and sour cabbage (red or white) which Is cooked with sour apples and seasoned with brown sugar and vinegar. Or there Is filled cabbage, which Is the cabbage head with the center taken out and re placed with stuffing, then the whole stuffed cabbage baked In the oven. In the Near East and elsewhere In Europe, they make cabbage rolls, which are sometimes called stuffed cabbage, although really each sepa rate leaf Is first wilted and then folded around a mixture of chopped meat and bread crumbs, or meat and rice, or maybe rice and raisins. These rolls are then cooked, perhaps in a baking dish with a little water and served with gravy, or perhaps in well -seasoned, tomato Juice. Dutch salad, like other raw cab bage dishes, is highly recommended by nutritionists because of the high vitamin value of the cabbage leaves before they are cooked. Raw cab bage Is Interchangeable with toma toes and oranges for Its vitamin C content). Dutch -salad Is shredded cabbage sprinkled with crisp bits of fried bacon or salt pork. Over this pour a dressing or the pork fat, vine gar, salt, pepper, and dry imistard. Borrowing from Old World recipes for cooking cabbage, and changing the cooking time to correspond with modern principles of vegetable cook ery, the bureau of home economics suggests the following somewhat "dif ferent" ways of serving this cheapest of the leafy vegetables: German Steamed Cabbage. 3 quarts shredded cabbage 1 1 teaspoon salt yA cup vinegar Killed In Crash (:: I Above are three of the passengeri killed In the crash of an American Airways passenger liner near Liv ingston Manor, N.

Filled Cabbage, 1 large cabbage 3 cups dry bread crumbe a tablespoons bacon or salt-pork pork drippings 1 large onion, chopped fine 1 pound ground beef Seasonings (pepper, salt, nutmeg, parsley, sage. Scoop out the center of the cabbage head, and parboil the shell for about 10 minutes in a cheesecloth bag to keep the leaves in shape for refill ing. Chop the center part fine as for slaw. Brown the chopped onion in the bacon or aalt-pork drippings, add the ground beef, chopped cabbage and breadcrumbs, and stir until heated. Add the seasonings and put the mixture back Into the cabbage shell. Bake, uncovered. In a pan or baking dish with a little water until the cabbage Is Just tender. The old-world recipes call for a eggs In the stuffing, but these may well be omitted.- The seasonings, of course, may be varied according to taste. Belgian ned Cnhbnge. 3 sticks cinnamon Salt and pepper !J teaspoon cloves 1 onion, sliced thin 1 bay leaf a cups water 3 tablespoons pork drippings 5 or 6 firm, tart apples peeled and cut In quarters 1 medlum-stzed red cabbage, sliced thin 3 tablespoons vinegar 3 tablespoons sugar. Put the seasonings in the water, add the apples and then the cabbage. Cook until Just tender, add the vine gar and augar. Cook about one minute more. The appearance of this dish Is better when hard winter apples are used, oummer apples, as a rule, cook up too much. 14 cup sweet cream or top milk. Steam the cabbage until Just tender (about 15 minutes). Add salt and vinegar and when cool add the cream and serve. Or serve hot If preferred.
