Ingredients

• 4 cups milk

• 2/3 cup rice

• 1/3 cup molasses

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1 tablespoon butter

• 1/2 cup seedless raisins

• Salt

Directions

• Wash rice; mix ingredients in the order given.

1 cup rice
1 1/2 quarts cold water
1 onion, sliced
1 green pepper, cut in shreds
2 cups hot cream or milk
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons flour
Salt, cayenne, and nutmeg
1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley

Heat water to boiling, season with salt and add rice, onion, and green pepper. Cook until rice is soft; rub through a sieve.

Melt butter in a saucepan, add flour, stir to a smooth paste, add cream slowly, stirring constantly. Add seasonings and cook over hot water ten minutes. Combine with rice mixture, continue cooking 5 minutes.

Sprinkle over with parsley before serving.

1 1/2 cups steamed or boiled rice
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1/3 pound grated cheese
Cayenne, if desired
Milk
Buttered cracker crumbs

When steaming or boiling rice, allow one tablespoon of salt for seasoning. Butter a baking dish and cover with a layer of rice, dot over with some of the butter.

Sprinkle with a thin layer of cheese and a slight sprinkle cayenne; repeat alternate layers until rice and cheese are used.

Pour on milk to half the depth of baking dish, cover with buttered cracker crumbs and bake in oven until cheese melts and crumbs are brown.

Escalloped Cabbage and Rice

Butter a baking dish and fill it with alternate layers of cooked rice, white sauce, and raw cabbage that has been chopped fine.  Sprinkle the top with salt and pepper, bread crumbs, and bits of butter.  Bake one hour in a moderate oven, keeping the dish covered the first 45 minutes.

Savory Rice

Savory rice is another splendid luncheon dish.  Boil a cupful of rice in salted water until tender.  Have ready 5 slices of bacon, a small onion and a green pepper, which you have put through the food chopper together, and then cooked in a saucepan until slightly brown.

Beat this into the rice and add half a cupful of tomato sauce and salt and pepper to taste.  Bake about 20 minutes in a moderate oven and serve hot.
