A Finger in the Israeli Pie
Good Recipes from Judea
By ANNA G. SLOMOVITZ
TEL AVIV — You can get
the best food in Israel today.
There are first rate restaurants
in all parts of the country, and
the availability of ingredients
improves the art of cooking.
Give the Israelis the wherewith-
al and they'll provide excellent
dishes.
I've picked up a few recipes
in Israel, and I'd like to share
them with my fellow Detroiters.
Here, "chatzilim," the egg
plants, are most delectable. You
can help me prove my point
by trying these recipes.
1. Bake egg plant, then mash.
Season with salt and pepper
and mayonnaise. Serve with
sliced tomatoes as a salad.
2. Bake tiny egg plants until
half done. Then pickle in brine
of 3 /4 cup vinegar, 3/4 cup water,
salt, peper, mixed spices, a bit
of sugar to taste. Delicious
served with meat.
3. Bake egg plant until soft.
Chop and add one green pep-
per, chopped onions, one egg
and fry in deep fat. Sour cream
is a good- accompaniment.
There are also these very typ-
ical recipes that have attracted
my attention:
PUMPKIN and TOMATO SOUP
Glat and Agvanioth Marak
1/2 cup pumpkin mashed
Dash of thyme and pepper
1 can tomato soup
1 can milk
Heat and serve
Mayonnaise is used a great
deal in salads of every kind —
cooked vegetables as well as
raw. A popular salad is mari-
nated tomato slices with- French
dressing, or lemon and vinegar,
chives and parsley. Lemon trees
are in almost every yard. They
are used with the skin green,
instead of our customary yellow.
Music Study
Slates Program
Promoting good music will be
stressed when the Music Study
Club swings into its second
luncheon program at 12:30 p.m.,
Tuesday, at the home of Mrs. N.
Smokler, 1720 Strathcona, pre-
ceding the Annual Artist Con-
cert of Dec. 1.
Frances Cooperman, young
lyric soprano, will present a
group of songs at the luncheon
program. A protege of Mrs.
Julius Chajes, Frances is a win-
ner of the club's scholarship
award.
Proceeds of the Annual Art-
ist Concert represent the prin-
cipal source of income for the
club's scholarship fund, by
which many nationally and in-
ternationally prominent musi-
cians were aided.
Ruth Meckler will be the
featured soloist for the Dec. 1
concert at the Art Institute.
Mrs. Sidney Jackson, concert
chairman, and Mrs. Max Reich,
patron chairman, may be con-
tacted for further information.
The club and the Dora and Ju-
lius Green Fund have helped
bring about Detroit presentation
of a French-Jewish composer's
symphony. Jacques Berlinski's
"Van Riebeeck" Symphony, ded-
icated to a South African hero,
was heard in Paris by Mrs. Ju-
lius Cliajes, music club execu-
tive, and her husband, director
of the Center Symphony here.
Both were highly impressed
with the work. When Paul Par-
ay, Detroit Symphony conduc-
tor, heard the work, he accept-
ed it for symphony performance
next season.
The Music Study Club under-
took to have the manuscript re-
written and mimeographed. The
club will also present a copy
of the work to Shabtai Petrush-
ka, music director of Kol Israel
in Jerusalem, who also is in-
terested in sponsoring the
work's performance.
The Green Fund and the
Music Study Club recently se-
cured the first piano for the
newly-opened music department
of Bar-Ilan University in Ramat
Gan, Israel,
HOLLANDAISE SAUCE
Heat on low flame:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 8 teaspoon tobasco sauce
Since food rationing is over
in Israel — one is treated to
pastries of every variety. In the
homes, entertaining after nine
o'clock in the evening is popu-
lar. The refreshments are home-
grown peanuts, fruits of the
season, hors d'oeuvres — of
cheese and home-grown sar-
dines or mushroom canapes,
tomato juice, brandy and wine
— coffee, tea and Mitz, a soft
drink.
Molly Bar-David writes an in-
teresting column, "Some Quick
Dishes," for the Jerusalem Post.
I have selected several of her
concoctions to share with you.
The pumpkin delicacy is espe-
cially reasonable. Here are
some of Mrs. Bar-David's pro-
posals of dishes for Israelis:
SKILLET GLAZED PUMPKIN
Slice pumpkin into serving
pieces (I like to use the neck
of this squash because of its
attractive shape on the plate)
about an inch thick. In a little
boiling water in a covered pan,
cook the pumpkin until you can
just pierce it with a fork —
about 15 minutes; draiin (save
the liquid for soups). Dot the
pumpkin with margarine; sprin-
kle lightly with sugar (brown
is best) and then fry lightly un-
til golden on each side. If you
want this as a dessert add a
sprinkling of cinnamon and gin-
ger too. If you want it as a
vegetable (of the tzimmis fam-
ily) you can serve it as it is.
Our tinned sausages, fried
along with this dish at the end
of the cooking, make a very
good and quick dish.
Founder Concert
Series to Begin
The second concert series for
members and friends of the
Detroit Art Museum Founder's
Society will open with a pro-
gram of recorder and harpsi-
chord music, at 8:30 p.m., Nov.

Loeillet, Locke and Marais. The

er's Society series. The New
York Woodwind Quintet, on
Jan. 11; the Budapest String

recitals.
Large Sealy Delegation of Dealers Li
Enjoys 14-Day Holiday in Europe
One of the largest Detroit

The trip, promoted by the

dealers and the manufacturer.
The trip is taking the party
to Rome, Lucerne, Zurich, Paris
and L o n d o n, among other
places.
Some 20 of the couples left
Detroit two weeks early to
spend a week and a half in Is-
rael before joining the rest of

CRANBERRY MEAT
Use tinned meat or — better
still — tinned tongue, for this
dish. Heat the meat in its sauce,
adding just enough water to
cover. Then mix together 3 or
4 tablespoons of cranberry jelly
— now tinned locally — 1 tsp.
cornflour diluted in a little
water, the liquor from the meat,
one or two whole cloves and 1
lemon, sliced thin. Simmer to-
gether for five minutes and
serve hot.
QUICK CHILI CON CARNE
In a deep frying pan brown
sliced onion and diced gambas
or green peppers. Add fresh
ground meat or mashed up
tinned meat loaf and brown.
Add chopped garlic and tomato
ketchup or your own sauce, and
a chopped clove of garlic. When
bubbly add a tin of baked beans
in tomato sauce. To make this
dish glamorous add a small tin
of cultivated mushrooms.
SPAGHETTI SUPPER
Boil spaghetti in salted water
and drain. Now add more mar-
garine than you normally would
dare to do (don't count calories
for this dish !) and while the
spaghetti is steeping in the mar-
garine mix together any rather
hot table sauce (there's a very
good local one) with prepared
mustard. Put the macaroni in
a casserole, cover with grated
yellow cheese (don't be stingy
with this either) and sprinkle
over the mustard-sauce mixture.
Stick it under the grill to melt
and. serve hot.
