Veal Cutlets En Casserole

Have slices of veal cut from the leg. Cut about a pound and a half of such veal into pieces suitable for serving individually, remove all unedible portions, and draw into each two short strips (lardoons) of fat salt pork. Or, the pieces of pork may be put into the casserole. Dredge the meat with flour and cook it in a frying pan with a little salt pork or bacon fat, olive oil or butter, until nicely browned, then transfer the meat to a casserole; turn a pint of hot water or white broth into the frying pan to melt the glaze from the pan, then turn the liquid over the meat, cover the dish and let cook in the oven about an hour. In the mean while prepare as many small onions as there are persons to serve, let these boil half an hour or longer, then drain, rinse in cold water and drain again, when they are ready for the casserole. Have ready five or six potato balls for each service, let these be about one inch in diameter; also have tiny carrots, one each, or several slices of larger carrots for each service. These also should be blanched. Peel for each service one or more mushroom caps, and saute these in a little butter. About twenty minutes before the dish is to be served add the vegetables to the casserole, also broth if needed, salt and pepper, with half a cup of sherry wine or tomato puree, and, if desired, two or three tablespoon-fuls of flour mixed to a paste with water. Cover and bind with a strip of cloth as described above.

Then finish the cooking. Two or three tablespoonfuls of mushroom catsup may be added with the vegetables, when fresh mushrooms are not available.
