COMPOSITION AND PREPARATION OF MEATS 97 Dried Beef and Cream £ Ib. dried beef, thinly sliced 1 c. milk 2 tb. butter 2 tb. flour Remove the skin and separate meat in pieces. Cover with hot water and let stand 10 m. Drain and fry in the hot butter. Add the milk and when boiling stir in the flour wet in a little cold milk or water. Cook till smooth. Warmed-over Meats. — To prepare meats for warming over, remove all bone, skin, gristle, and excess of fat from meat. The bone, skin, and gristle may be put in the soup kettle in making stock, and the fat may be tried out for drip- pings. Cook quickly all tender meat, for if kept at boiling point for any length of time, the protein will become tough. Make the tough portions of meat tender by letting them simmer in water. Rice, macaroni, bread crumbs, tomatoes, onions, etc., may be used in combination with different meats, making many palatable dishes. Meat pies may be made, using baking powder biscuit dough or pastry for an upper crust. Hash Chop cooked meat, using a small amount of fat. Add an equal amount of chopped cold boiled potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and a little chopped onion. Put 2 or 3 tb. hot water in an iron frying pan and 1 tb. drippings. Put in the mixture, cover the pan and let simmer slowly till a brown crust is formed ; about 20 minutes. Do not stir. Fold over, turn out on a warm platter, and garnish with parsley.
