ENTERTAINING FOOD

Give them brunch they won't forget

DAY-TIME parties are great for the working per-
son as well as the older person, both host(ess) and
guest(ess). The kids can be easily organized without
sitter expense; everyone comes and goes in the safer
daylight; no one is anxious about the passage of
time; and one can still get an early night in case of

the job to-morrow.
By ELEANOR GODLEY [|

Call it ‘‘Lunch’’ or
‘‘Brunch’’, depending on the

roped a couple of calves, it’s
definitely Lunch. Whatever

habits of those you have in-

vited. Will they come still

warm from their jammies,

woozy with late sleeping, you emphasize, let it also
leave you with some freedom '
to spend time with these
friends, not through a cloud

reluctant to plug into the
of steam, or smoke from the

day? For them, it’s Brunch.
If they’re the sort who, by
barbecue, but face-to-face,

mid-day, have already run,
swum, skied two hills and

relaxed and carefree, backed
up by all sorts of dishes that
can be at least partially
readied beforehand and fi-
nished off at the last minute.

Have a jug of orange-juice
handy, for the newly risen,
and a potfal of porridge,
nubbly with seeds and nuts
and raisins, covered with real
cream. Give them Zested
Prunes and good Scrambled
Eggs that will miraculously
hold for an hour. Let them
team them with Hot Sausage
Balls. Or wake them up with
a Mexican Huevas Rancheros
that will clear their sinuses,
and an exotic Frittata lux-
uriously harboring artichoke
hearts and mushrooms.

If they belong to the dawn-
challengers, and are starving,
something adventuresome
will make their eyes shine.
Try a Coulibac or a Gougere
— of course you can, they are
both marvellous dishes that
come from = assembling a
bunch of stuff. You’ll be
delighted you tried. With a

panied by colourful julienned
carrots, green and red pep-
pers, green onions, Japanese
20th Century pears, radishes,
whatever, will surely fill up
all their interstices.

ZESTED PRUNES:

Buy the big pitted ones, just
cover them with cold water,
and bring them to the boil.
Turn the heat back to simmer
immediately, and add thin,
delicate whisps of the zest of
lemon and/or orange.
(That’s the very outside of
the coloured part of the
skin). Now some dark rum,
to taste. Remove them from
the heat, put them into a
covered container, and
marinate in the refrigerator
for a day or two. You’ll love
prunes!

PATIENT
SCRAMBLED EGGS
Ordinarily, my scrambled
eggs must be enjoyed the
minute they set, while they’re
still shiny and soft and but-
tery. But these, with the addi-
tion of a little cream sauce,
will hold for a good hour
without hardening, and can
be kept warm for slow

drinkers.

Cut a quarter-pound of but-
ter into four. Put one-fourth
(2 Tbspns.) into a saucepan
to melt. When melted, stir in
2 Tobspns. of flour and add }
cup of milk to make a sauce.
Set this aside.
Now beat to biend
12 eggs
| tspn. of salt
dash of pepper
several drops of Tobasco
6 Tbspns. of whipping
cream

Put the remaining three parts

of the butter into a skillet or
electric frying-pan to melt.
Add the egg mixtue and keep
the heat low whilst you stir
and lift with a spatula undl
the eggs begin to coagulate.
Stur in the sauce you make,
cooking gently as you do,
and then set the temperature
at ‘‘warm’’ and put the lid
on, or Jjeave in a warm oven.

HOT SAUSAGE BALLS:

Serve these on toothpicks, or
as an accompaniment to your
egg dishes. The recipe makes
about 50, and warm up left-
overs successfully providing
these people leave anything.

2 lbs. of pork-sausage meat
(if you can’t find it in bulk,
buy your favounte sausages,
cover them with ice-water for
10 minutes, then sin and
squeeze the casings to see the
Meat pop out magically).
2
2 cloves of garlic, mashed
salt, cayenne and Tobasco to
taste
3 Tbobspns. of ketchup
Your choice of

Worcestershire

H.P. sauce

dry mustard

ground chilis

dijon-type mustard

curry powder

Make a tiny one and fry tt to
see how it tastes, then adjust
for hotter if necessary. All

this can be done the day
before your ‘‘do.’’

HUEVOS RANCHEROS:
Recipes for this dish are as
various as the expectations of
the origimators. Like any
regional cookery, it veers
wildly. Evolve your own,
eventually.

For big eaters you will need:

8 canned or frozen tortillas
a little oil to fry them in, both
sides

Now wrap them in foil to
keep them warm for a bit.
Saute in Tbspnas. of oil

% qp of finely-chopped
onion

1 green pepper, cleaned and
finely chopped

While they cook gently, mash
together or blender
3 cups of drained
tomatoes

1 canned Jalapeno pepper, or
chopped green chilis

2 mashed cloves of garlic

{talian

Add this mixture to the
sauteed onion with a dash of
sah. Cook over medium heat,
adding

“ tspn. of cumin
2 tspns. of chil powder
Y% tspn. of oregano

When this sauce is slighily
thick, set it aside (do it
yesterday).

Fry in oil or margarine
8 eggs (don’t tum them over)

Lay out the torullas on a
large oven pan.
