No. 1—LEG OF VEAL.
Quantity for 8–10 Persons.
6–8 lbs. leg of veal
⅛ lb. of bacon
⅛ lb. of butter
½ cup sweet or sour cream
Salt, pepper
1½ cups of water
2 tbsps. of flour
Preparation: The meat is pounded, boiling water poured over, i.e.,
scalded, which makes the meat white; let the water run off
immediately. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and put into pan. Cut the
bacon into thin slices and put it on the meat, add the butter and
place into oven. Roast for 2 hours, basting frequently. About ½ hour
before done, put the flour into the gravy and stew 5 minutes, then add
water and put the cream on the leg in spoonfuls. When the roast is
tender, put on platter and strain the gravy which must not be too thin.
Remarks: If the roast has much stock, pour some off before adding
flour, stand cold and let it jelly. Now cut it into slices and serve
with slices of tenderloin. Veal roast may be utilized in various ways.
No. 2—WARMED UP VEAL ROAST.
Quantity for 6 Persons.
1½ lbs. of veal roast
⅛ lb. of butter
⅛ lb. of sardines
1 tbsp. of capers
Some salt
Juice of ½ lemon
Left over gravy
For the gravy, 1 tsp. of flour
Preparation: Put the roast into an earthen dish, heat the gravy, pour
it over the roast, cover up the dish, place it into a covered pot with
boiling water, let it boil slowly for one hour and baste the roast
several times.
The gravy is usually thin, therefore add the flour and serve with the
roast; the contents of the dish must not boil, otherwise the roast
will become dry. Cut the roast into slices, place them into a buttered
mold, put the sardines, capers and bits of butter between them and
drip the lemon juice on. Cover the mold, put it into the dish with
boiling water and boil for ¾ hours. The meat is served in the mold,
the gravy heated and served with it.
No. 3—VEAL ROAST WITH POTATOES.
Quantity for 6 Persons.
1 lb. of veal roast
Salt
1 pinch of pepper
¼ onion
Left over gravy
4 big, raw potatoes, peeled and cut into thin slices
Preparation: The meat is cut into small pieces, placed in 2 or 3
layers alternately with sliced potatoes into an earthenware buttered
dish so that the top layer will be potatoes. Season each layer with
salt, pepper and a little onion.
The meat gravy which may be diluted with bouillon or water is poured
over the whole until level with the potatoes; then put small pieces of
butter on top and bake in the oven for 1½ hours.
