Rice, Spanish Way of Cooking

Boil half a pound of rice as for curry. If liked, broth can be used instead of water. Dry it well, and fry it with a slice of butter till it is lightly browned. Stir into it two large ripe tomatoes, or failing these a table-spoonful of tomato sauce and a table-spoonful of grated cheese; season it with white pepper. Work it lightly with two forks, and serve it, piled high in a hot dish, with slices of ham, bacon, or German sausage round it; failing these, use dried haddock, herring, or smoked salmon in strips. Time, a few minutes to brown the rice. Probable cost, 7d., exclusive of the meat or fish round the rice. Sufficient for five or six persons.
