Cut some fresh, firm tomatoes into several pieces. Cook in a double boiler with as little water as possible. Rub through a sieve with a spoon or potato masher. From 3 to 6 ounces of thick puree is sufficient at a meal, for the average adult. For medicinal purposes, tomatoes may be eaten in large quantities.
They are more wholesome if not cooked. Place a can of tomatoes in hot water to heat, drain off the liquid, and serve with meat, fish, eggs or cheese. The liquid may be kept for soup.
Heat a can of tomatoes, thicken with flour and water, and let boil 10 minutes. Add some butter and flavor with onion, and small amount of sugar if desired.
Prepare as number two, thicken with bread or cracker crumbs, instead of flour.
Heat a can of tomatoes. Then heat some butter and oil in a flat saucepan, thicken with mixed flour, flavor with onion, add the tomatoes gradually, and let boil a few minutes.
Wash the tomatoes and cut off the upper part with a sharp knife. Scrape out the pulp and fill the tomatoes with cold chopped meat mixed with onion and mayonnaise dressing. Garnish with lettuce and serve with bread and butter, or as an entree.
