Veal Cutlets Broiled

Divide the best end of a neck of veal into cutlets, one rib to each; make a few fine bread crumbs, mince a little parsley and a very little shallot as small as possible; put it into a clean stewpan with two ounces of butter; fry it for a minute, then put it on a plate to cool: when cold, mix the yolks of two eggs with it, and season it with pepper and salt: dip the cutlets into this mixture, and then into the bread; lay them on a gridiron over a clear slow fire; they will take a quarter of an hour: send up with them a few slices of bacon fried, or done in the Dutch oven.

Knuckle Of Veal, To Ragout

Cut a knuckle of veal into slices about half an inch thick; pepper, salt, and flour them; fry them a light brown; put the trimmings into a stewpan, with the bone broke in several places; an onion sliced; a head of celery; a bunch of sweet herbs, and three blades of bruised mace: pour in warm water enough to cover it about an inch: cover your pot close, and let it stew very gently for a couple of hours: thicken it with flour and butter; put in a spoonful of catsup, a glass of wine, and juice of half a lemon; give it a boil up, and strain into a clean stewpan: put in the meat and make it hot, and serve up.

Observations

If celery is not to be had, use a carrot instead.

Knuckle of Veal Stewed with Rice.

Knuckle Of Veal

As boiled knuckle of veal cold is not a very favourite relish with the generality, cut off some steaks from it, which you may dress as in the foregoing receipt, and leave the knuckle no larger than will be eaten the day it is dressed. Break the shank bone, wash it clean, and put it in a large stewpan with two quarts of water, one onion, two blades of mace,, and a teaspoonful of salt: set it on a quick fire; when it boils take off all the scum: wash and pick a pound of rice, and put it into the stewpan with the meat, and let it stew very gently for two hours: put the meat, etc. in a deep dish, and the rice round it.

Send up bacon with it, parsnips, or greens, and finely minced parsley and butter.

Mr. Gay's Receipt To Stew A Knuckle Of Veal

Take a knuckle of veal; You may buy it, or steal; In a few pieces cut it, In a stewingpan put it; Salt, pepper, and mace,

Must season this knuckle; Then, what'sjoin'd to a place*

With other herbs tnuckle; That which kill'd King Will †, And what never stands still ‡;

* Vulgo, salary. † Supposed sorrel.

This is, by Dr. Bentley, thought to be time, or thyme,

Some sprigs of that bed * Where children are bred, Which much you will mend, if Both spinage and endive, And lettuce and beet, With marygold meet. Put no water at all, For it maketh things small, Which, lest it should happen, A close cover clap on: Put this pot of Wood's mtal † In a boiling hot kettle; And there let it be, (Mark the doctrine I teach,) About, let me see, Thrice as long as you preach ‡. So skimming the fat off, Say grace with your hat off, O! then with what rapture Will it fill Dean and Chapter!
