1 lb. veal roast
3 yolks of eggs
1 tbsp. of flour
2 tsps. of salt
Some pepper
1 tsp. of mustard
¼ qt. of milk
½ tbsp. of butter
4 mustard pickles
2 tbsps. of pearl onions
3 tbsps. of wine vinegar
Preparation: Milk, flour, yolks of eggs, salt, pepper, vinegar, and
butter are stirred to a gravy and brought to boil. It requires 10
minutes time till the gravy is thick and smooth. Veal roast and
pickles are cut into thin slices. Meat, pickles and onions are put
into layers in a dish and between each two layers a few spoonfuls of
gravy, concluding with gravy over the top.
Three hard-boiled eggs quartered and placed on or around the salad
makes it look nice.
No. 8—SADDLE OF VEAL.
Quantity for 10 Persons.
6–7 lbs. of veal saddle
Some salt
1 pinch of pepper
¼ cup of butter, or good roast drippings
¼ lb. of bacon
1 cup of cream
2½ tbsps. of flour
Preparation: The saddle of veal is well prepared by the butcher so it
will lie flat in the pan. Skin and scald the veal and lard it with
bacon, then sprinkle with salt and pepper and put into the pan. Heat
the butter, pour it over the meat and set it into a medium hot oven.
Pour a little water over once in a while so the butter does not get
too brown; the roast must be basted every 10 minutes to make it juicy.
It requires 1 or 1½ hours roasting to make it tender. One-quarter of
an hour before done put in the flour and cream. The gravy must be
strained before serving. The kidneys may be removed, cut into thin
slices, arranged around the roast with the pieces overlapping each
other like scales.
Remarks: The gravy may be prepared in various ways. Instead of cream
take ¼ cup of Madeira or red wine and cut truffles into thin slices
and put into the gravy.
Another way is to take cream and champignons and lemon juice.
The left over roast may be utilized for ragout, gulash, fricassee,
meat dumplings or in a pudding made of roast and potatoes. The bones
are split and used to make bouillon.
No. 9—ROAST VEAL LOIN WITH KIDNEY.
Quantity for 6 Persons.
3 lbs. of veal loin with the kidney
Salt
1 pinch of pepper
⅛ lb. of butter or lard
1 tbsp. of flour
¼ cup of cream
½ cup of water
Preparation: Pound the meat and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cut the
kidney off and if it is very fat, cut some of the fat off and render
it to be used for frying or cooking. The roast is then put on and
basted with hot butter or lard; the kidney is put in with the roast.
Let it roast until well done and baste it frequently. Shortly before
it is done, add flour to the gravy and then the cream. If there should
be too little gravy, add more water and let it roast ¼ hour longer.
Baste with the gravy several times and serve. The gravy must be
strained, the kidney cut in slices and arranged around the roast for
garnishing.
