Meatless Cookery

Published as America rationed meat for the war, this is a whole cuisine built without it — nut roasts and cheese soufflés, dasheen and okra soups, vegetable gelatine, and a chapter on what to do with the whites of eggs.

Creamed Onion

1 quart onions 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons flour 1 1/3 cups water in which the onions are boiled 1/2 teaspoon salt Peel the onions under cold water, and cook in boiling, salted water. Boil five minutes, drain, and again cover with boiling, salted water. Cook uncovered until tender, taking care not to boil so rapidly that the onions are broken. Drain, and reserve one and one-third cups of the water with which to make the dressing. Rub the butter and flour together, and stir into it the warm liquid. Add additional salt if desired. Turn this dressing over the onions, and reheat a few minutes.
