Mutton Chops

6 mutton chops

Oil

Salt and pepper

Mutton chops should be not less than one inch thick. The best way to cook them is to broil them. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, oil on both sides and broil, turning very often. Have them slightly underdone, and serve on a hot chop-dish, garnishing with French fried potatoes and sprigs of parsley.

If preferred these chops may be breaded. Select chops with little fat, or trim off the fat, dip them in well-beaten egg, roll in cracker crumbs, and fry in deep fat (375°-400° F.). Serve with tomato sauce.
