Balance The Budget With A Stew
by Mrs. Richard C. Spence
Fall food budgets are often
caught in the squeeze between
high food prices and new school
clothes. Protein usually accounts
foi a large proportion of any
food budget, so economizing on
meat and fish is a good way to
‘ ease the squeeze ”
High as today’s prices are, you
can still economize on meat A
little more time spent cooking
and a dash of spices and im
agination can turn less ten
der, less expensive cuts of meat
into a family-pleasing dinner
Slow, gentle cooking in moist
1 eat is a requiiement for those
less tender cuts of meat This
means eithei braising, stewing
cr cooking in water In braising,
the meat is first browned, then
seasonings and a small amount
of liquid are added and the meat
i, cooked, covered, until tender
Small pieces of less tender
cuts of meat are used for stew
aig It is necessaiy to add moie
liquid than for braising and veg
etables are added during the last
part of cooking
Larger pieces of meat can be
cooked in water as the first step

feu doesn’t that sound more
adventurous than plain stew?
Actually they arc Just different
names for the same delicious,
economical dish.
When you make a stew
whether you call It ragout or not
bo adventurous, Try a new
seasoning; use either curry pow
der, ginger, mace, rosemary,
chili powdey or dry mustard to
add new taste. Sliced black or
green olive' also add to flavor
and appearance.
Seasoning is particularly im
portant for meat-extending dish
es that use bland foods such as
macaroni, rice or potatoes. Give
them a little zip with parsley,
chives, green peppers, celery,
sour cream, buttermilk, lemon
or smoked cheese.
Other seasonings your family
may enjoy with meat are bay
leaf, garlic, marjoram, sage, soy
sauce, sweet basil, tabasco sauce,
thyme and Worcesters hire
sauce. Because these are used in
small quantities, they add little
to the cost of food
Maybe you could try a differ
ent vegetable too Your family
might enjoy a stew with egg
plant, Chinese cabbage, yellow
turnip or parsnips added to the
usual carrots and tomatoes. In
fact, stews are a good way to in
troduce a new vegetable to the
family since the flavors are so
well blended together
