An Italian Recipe.

Cook as in the last recipe, but add to the strained and seasoned tomato sauce a cupful of good stock or gravy, and when they have boiled together five minutes stir in two great spoonfuls of Parmesan cheese. (Season the tomato with cayenne, not with black pepper.) Dish the rice - every grain standing apart from its fellows - and cover with the sauce. Loosen with a fork to let this sink into the rice, set in an oven for three minutes and serve. It is a savory and pleasant accompaniment to cold meat.

Rice And Tomato

Arrange alternate layers of boiled rice and sliced tomatoes in a baking-dish, making the top layer of tomato. Scatter over this small pieces of butter, bake, covered, twenty minutes, uncover and leave in the oven ten minutes longer.
