cook the celery, which should be chopped fine, with the rice for the
last half hour of the steaming. Brown the butter and add to it the onion
finely chopped, the tomatoes, and the pimiento. A few minutes before
serving time, add this to the rice, mix well, and serve hot.
63. LEFT-OVER RICE.--There are a variety of ways in which left-over rice
may be used. For instance, rice that has been cooked and is not used may
be utilized in soups, combined with pancake, muffin, or omelet mixtures,
or made into puddings by mixing it with a custard and then baking. It
may be served with fruit, made into patties, or combined with tomatoes,
cheese, or meat to form an appetizing dish.
64. As has been shown, rice is one of the cereals that contain very
little cellulose. Fruit added to it in the preparation of any dish
makes up for this lack of cellulose and at the same time produces a
delicious combination. Rice combined with pineapple to form a dish like
that shown in Fig. 3 not only is very attractive but meets with the
favor of many; besides, it provides a good way in which to utilize
left-over rice.
