SUGAR PEAS

Sugar peas may be cooked in the pods like string beans.  Gather the pods while the seeds are still very small; string like beans and cut into pieces.  Cover with boiling water and boil gently for twenty-five or thirty minutes or until tender.  Pour off most of the water, saving it for soup; season the rest with salt and butter and serve.

CARROTS AND PEAS

Wash, scrape and cut one pint of carrots in small cubes, cook until tender, drain and reserve one-half cup of carrot water.  Mix carrots well with one pint cooked green peas.  Sprinkle with two tablespoons of flour, salt, pepper and sugar to taste, add two tablespoons of fat or butter, one-half cup of milk or soup stock and carrot water, boil a little longer and serve.

GREEN PEAS AND RICE

Shell one-half peck of green peas and wash them well; if canned peas are used pour off liquid and rinse with cold water.  Heat one-fourth cup of butter or other fat in a spider, add one cup of rice and let simmer, stirring constantly until rice is a golden brown; add one quart of boiling water, then the drained peas and one-half teaspoon of salt, and one-half cup of granulated sugar.  Place in pudding dish, set in the oven and bake until rice is tender.

GREEN PEPPERS

Sweet green peppers, within the last ten years have gained a place in cookery in this country.  Their flavor is depended on for soups.  They are used in stews.  They are used for salad, and they are used much as a separate vegetable in dozens of different ways.

STUFFED PEPPERS

Select six tender, sweet peppers.  Soak in water bread crumbs sufficient to make one pint when the water is pressed out; mix with one-fourth teaspoon basil, herbs and two teaspoons of salt, add two tablespoons of butter.

Cut off the stem end of each pepper; carefully remove the interior and fill the peppers with the prepared dressing.  Place in a shallow baking-pan and pour around them white sauce thinned with two cups of water.  Bake about one hour, basting frequently with the sauce.

PEPPERS STUFFED WITH MEAT

Cut a slice from the blossom end of each pepper, remove seeds and parboil ten minutes.  Chop one onion fine and cook in fat until straw color; add one-fourth cup of cold cooked chicken or veal, and 1/4 cup of mushrooms; cook two minutes, add 1/2 cup of water and two tablespoons of bread crumbs.  Cool, sprinkle peppers with salt and a pinch of red pepper.  Fill with stuffing, cover with crumbs and bake ten minutes.
