Boil a few carrots, not too soft. Slice and fry them in butter, after having
sprinkled them with brown sugar. Serve hot.
LUCCHETTI--FRIED
ITALIAN VEGETABLE
Cut in strips, rather flat, like potatoes, for frying crisply la française.
Leave them two or three hours, after sprinkling salt on them, to expel the
moisture. Lay them a little while on a napkin. Dip them in flour, and fry
quickly until brown. Sprinkle powdered sugar on them before serving.
Or they may be served farcis, in pieces cut like fond d'artichauts.
SPINACH
Spinach must be thrown into boiling water, and when sufficiently cooked drained
in a colander or cheesecloth, and chopped fine on a very clean board with a
perfectly clean knife, then warmed in a saucepan; add salt, butter and sugar to
taste, and serve very hot and quickly.
It should be trimmed with small pieces of fried bread around the dish.
STRING BEANS
Make a bouquet of a small green onion, some parsley, a laurel leaf, a very small
bit of thyme. Tie all together with a long string, add your string beans, and
when the bouquet has boiled fifteen minutes, take it out, leaving the string
beans to boil fifteen minutes longer. Let them, like spinach, dance around in
plenty of hot water. When cooked, strain them in a colander at once. Do not let
them get cold. Let them drip in a clean piece of cheesecloth
