International Chicken
One of the trends in present-day
cooking is to combine the typical
foods and seasonings of one coun-
try with the compktely different
ones of another. We may find ge-
fillte fish served with Italian spag-
hetti sauce instead of the custom-
ary "chrain," or •gedempte brust
piquantly flavored with a little
chili powder. The results of these
international blends are frequently
delightful, as a great many of the
Israeli dishes, which are excellent
examples of this trend can attest.
Chicken, a world-wide favorite,
is also a natural foil for all sorts
of seasoning blends, and each na-
tion has many typical ways of pre-
paring the fowl. Now we find re-
cipes which combine favorites of
two or more countries, and the new
creations are wonderfully good.
Here are two such treats, quite
different from each other in taste,
yet each is a mixture of the sea-
sonings of many lands.
In the first recipe, Chicken with
Pineapple-Almond Sauce, our own
favorite combination of raisins with
almonds (rosinkes mit mandlen)
and ground ginger, so good in tra-
ditional sweet and sour dishes
goes oriental with the addition of
ground cinnamon, a favorite of
Near Eastern cooking, and soy
sauce, an important ingredient in
the cuisine of the Far East. Add
tropical pineapple, and that mod-
ern delight, parve margarine, and
the results are utterly luscious.
Ingredients usually found in the
native cooking of such diversified
regions as the Far East, the Medi-
terranean, Israel, Florida, and
California, plus a modern prepared
kosher instant soup mix, all blend
in our second recipe, properly call-
ed Chicken Cosmopolitan. If the
peoples of the earth would all
agree as well as the various in-
gredients of this delightful dish,
life on earth would be harmonious
indeed.
Both these dishes are not com-
plicated or difficult to make. Basic-
the ingathering of seasonings and
foods from all parts of the world to
unite in each results in chicken
which is as fine as any compli-
cated recipe could produce.

CHICKEN COSMOPOLITAN
1 large frying chicken, cut up
1 /4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup strained orange juice
The grated rind of an orange
1 teaspoon ground ginger
I/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 /2 cup drained, pitted ripe olives, cut

Salt if desired
Dry the pieces of the chicken thor-

ing ingredients, stir to blend, and bring
to a boil. Cover the pan, lower the heat
to simmer, and cook about 45 minutes,
until the chicken is very tender. Taste
the gravy—the ginger gives a pro-
nounced spice taste, but you may wish
to add some salt. If you wish, you may
also thicken the gravy with 2 teaspoons
of cornstarch mixed to a smooth paste
with 2 teaspoons of cold water. Add to
the gravy, and stir until thickened,
then simmer for 5 minutes. The recipe
serves 4. Chicken Cosmopolitan is de-
licious with mashed potatoes.

JNF Digs In on Work
to Reclaim Land for
Outpost Near Jordan
TEL AVIV—The Jewish National
Fund has begun land reclamation
operations for the establishment of
a new Nahal outpost on the Jor-
dan border, north of Eyal be-
tween Tulkarm and Kalkilya.
This will be the first of five such
outposts to be prepared by the
JNF within the framework of a
four-year program.
Jacob Tsur, chairman of the
JNF Presidium, making the an-
nouncement, said that the first out-
post, to be ready for settlement in
November, "will complete the
chain of defense posts along the
Jordan border in the North."
The JNF will invest $40,000,000
in the program, Tsur said. This in-
cludes soil reclamation, already
begun, for three outposts even-
tually to be set up in the Arava;
reclamation of the soil for the ex-
pansion of the outpost at Korazim,
where the settlement of Almagor
is already established; and the de-
velopment of a settlement and a
vacation spot on the slopes of
Mount Meron.
The ground is also • being pre-
pared for the new Adurayim De-
velopment Region between Arad
and Adullam. There, in an experi-
ment begun some years ago in
cooperation with the UN food and
Agriculture Organization, an earth
darn was constructed, and an ex-
perimental planting of fruit trees
has been made.
