To one pint of boiled and minced new cabbage add one-half pint of hot milk, one tablespoon of butter, one teaspoon of flour, one-half teaspoon each of salt and pepper, one teaspoon finely minced parsley and a generous dash of sweet paprika.  The butter and flour should be creamed together before stirring in.  Let simmer for about ten minutes, stirring occasionally to keep from burning.  Serve hot on toasted bread.

HOT SLAW

Cut the cabbage into thin shreds as for cold slaw. (Use a plane if convenient).  Boil it until tender in salted fast-boiling water.  Drain it thoroughly, and pour over it a hot sauce made of one tablespoon of butter, one-half teaspoon of salt, dash of pepper and of cayenne, and one-half to one cup of vinegar, according to its strength.  Cover the saucepan and let it stand on the side of the range for five minutes, so that the cabbage and sauce will become well incorporated.

CARROTS BOILED WITH CABBAGE

Pare the carrots and cut them into finger lengths, in thin strips.  Put a breast of lamb or mutton on to boil, having previously salted it well.  When boiling, add the carrots and cover closely.  Prepare the cabbage as usual and lay in with the mutton and carrots; boil two hours at least; when all has boiled tender, skim off some of the fat and put it into a spider.  Add to this one tablespoon of flour, one tablespoon of brown sugar and one-half teaspoon of cinnamon.  Keep adding gravy from the mutton until well mixed, and pour all over the mutton and vegetables.  Serve together on a platter.

STEWED CABBAGE

Clean and drain cabbage, cut in small pieces and boil until tender.  Drain and rinse in cold water; chop fine, heat one tablespoon of drippings in spider, one-fourth of an onion cut fine and one tablespoon of flour; brown all together, add one-half pint of soup stock, add cabbage and cook ten minutes longer.  Salt and pepper to taste.

FILLED CABBAGE

Take a large, solid head of cabbage; take off the large top leaves, and scoop out the centre of the cabbage so as to leave the outside leaves intact for refilling.  Chop your cabbage fine as for slaw; take a quarter of a loaf of stale bread, soak it in water and squeeze very dry.  Heat two tablespoons of drippings in a spider, add a large-sized onion chopped fine, do not let the onion get too brown; then add the bread, one pound of chopped beef well minced and the chopped cabbage and let it get well heated; take off stove and add two eggs, pepper, salt, nutmeg, a little parsley and a little sage, season very highly.  Use a little more cabbage than bread the filling.  Put this all back in the cabbage, and cover this with the large leaves, put into small bread-pan and bake for two hours, put just enough water in to keep the pan from burning; don’t baste.  It doesn’t harm if the leaves scorch.
