How To Fry Egg Plant

Pare the egg plant, and cut in slices half an inch thick. Let it lie in cold salt water for an hour or more. Have a dish of beaten yolk of an egg, and one of cornmeal. Dip the slices first in the egg, then in cornmeal, and fry light brown, in a skillet of hot lard and butter mixed.

Stuffed Egg Plant

Take a full grown egg plant, cut it in two lengthwise. Take all the inside out leaving the skin about half inch thick. Chop fine. Mix about as much bread crumbs as egg plant; salt and pepper to taste, and one teaspoonful of sugar. Put a tablespoonful of butter in a skillet; when hot put in the mixture and let cook ten minutes; then return to the shells and put in the oven and bake an hour. Serve hot.

Oyster Plant

Wash, and scrape the plant, put in boiling water with salt in it; when tender, cut into pieces an inch long, dip in batter made of an egg, milk, flour and salt, and fry in hot lard like fried cakes. Parsnips are very nice cooked in this way.
