Mushroom catsup is a nice flavoring. Put pepper and salt on the chops
and lay them in melted butter; when they have imbibed sufficient, take
out and cover with grated bread crumbs and broil.--_Mrs. R._
BROILED MUTTON CHOPS.
Beat the mutton chops till tender; then trim, making them of uniform
size and shape; pour on them boiling water. Let them remain in it a
minute, dry them and rub with pepper, salt, and fresh butter. Lay on a
gridiron over hot coals, always remembering to cover them while
broiling. Turn them, and as soon as nicely browned place in a hot
dish, pepper again, pour over them melted butter, and serve.--_Mrs. S.
T._
MUTTON STEW.
Cut slices of rare mutton and put on to stew in a little water; when
nearly done put in--
1 teacup of sweet pickle vinegar.
3 large spoonfuls jelly.
A little salt.
1 teaspoonful mustard.
½ teacup of walnut catsup.
Butter size of an egg.
Stew slowly a short time.--_Mrs. F. D._
_Mutton Stew._
Slice cold mutton or lamb, lay it in a baking dish; put in--
1 teaspoonful black pepper.
1 teaspoonful red pepper.
1 teaspoonful celery-seed, pounded.
Rather more than 1 teaspoonful each of pounded cloves, cinnamon
and mace.
1 teacup of yellow pickle vinegar.
1 glassful wine.
Slice up a little yellow pickled cucumber, sugar to taste, one-quarter
pound butter, one roll of light bread broken in small pieces or cut in
little slices, and toasted before used.
In preparing this dish put a layer of the meat and seasonings
alternately.
The peppers, celery-seed, cloves, cinnamon, and mace must all be
pounded fine.--_Mrs. C._
GRILLED SLICES OF MUTTON.
Cut some rather thick slices of underdone cold mutton, score them well
and rub in plentifully some common mustard, salt, and cayenne pepper;
then broil them over a clear fire, and serve with onion sauce.
SHEEP'S TONGUES.
Boil them till the skin can be taken off; split them, and put them
into a stew-pan, with some gravy, parsley, mushrooms, and one minced
shallot, and some butter, some pepper, and salt.
Stew till tender, and strain the gravy over them; or they may be
glazed and served with the gravy under them. Sheep's tongues may also
be skinned, larded, braised, and glazed; and served with onion sauce.
TO ROAST LAMB.
The hind quarter is the nicest piece for roasting. Drop it in a pot of
boiling water; boil half an hour, put it in a pan, dredge it with
lard, pepper, flour, a little salt; skim the top of the water in which
it is boiled, and pour over it; as soon as the gravy accumulates in
the pan keep it basted frequently to prevent it from being hard and
dry. Lamb should be cooked done to be good.--_Mrs. P. W._
TO GRILL A SHOULDER OF LAMB.
Half boil it, score and cover it with egg, crumbs, and parsley
seasoned as for cutlets. Broil it over a very clear, slow fire, or
put it in a Dutch oven to brown it; serve with any sauce that is
liked. A breast of lamb is often grilled in the same way.
