RICE, SAVORY
There are several ways of serving savory rice. The rice can be boiled in some stock, strongly flavored with onion and celery, and when cooked sufficiently tender one or two eggs can be beaten up with it, pepper and salt added, and the mixture served with grated cheese.
Rice can also be rendered savory by the addition of chopped mushrooms, pepper and salt, and a little butter, and if a tin of mushrooms is used, the liquor in the tin should be added to the boiled rice, but in every case the rice should be made to absorb the liquor in which it is boiled. Eggs can again be added, as well as grated Parmesan cheese.
A cheap and quick way of making rice savory is to mix it with a large tablespoonful of chutney; make it hot with a little butter, and add pepper--cayenne if preferred--and a little lemon juice.
Rice can also be served as savory by boiling it in any of the sauces that may be termed savory in distinction to those that are sweet, given in the chapter entitled "Sauces."
