Cut down the center of each row of the kernels of corn in the ear, then scrape out the pulp with a strong, dull knife. To each cup of this corn pulp add one cup of water and three fourths of a cup of Granuto, with salt to taste. Put into well-oiled cups or large molds, and steam for half an hour. Let it stand in a warm place for a few minutes, and serve with warm Almond or dairy cream or cream sauce. Served cold with cream, it is par excellence. PEAS Stewed Peas. — If from the garden, pick and shell the peas with clean hands ; if from the market, wash the pods before shelling, so that the peas will not require washing, as they are much better with- out. When shelled, put into a colander, and sift Vegetables 153 out the fine particles and undeveloped blossoms. If not of equal growth, sort the peas, and put the older ones to cook ten minutes before the others. Use a porcelain or granite-ware kettle, with one- half pint of boiling water for each quart of peas, if young and tender; older ones, which require longer stewing, need more. Cover closely, and simmer gently till tender. The time required for young peas is from twenty-five to thirty minutes ; older ones require from forty to fifty minutes. Serve without draining, season with salt and enough sweet creamStewed Peas to make them as juicy as desired. Nut Cream may be used instead of dairy cream. If pre- ferred, the peas may be stewed in a larger quan- tity of water, and served in their own juices thick- ened with a little flour and seasoned with salt. *Timbale of Granuto with Green Peas. — Cook Granuto porridge a little longer than to serve with- out molding.
