Cooking, German
Preparation: The meat is cut into nice pieces and the cartilage left
on. Scald it for ½ minute and drain well. With the 2 qts. of water,
onion, salt and spices, it is boiled until tender. Boil down the
bouillon to ¾ of a quart so it is very strong. It requires 1 hour to
cook the meat done.
The Gravy.
Heat the butter, put in the flour and stew a little. Butter and flour
must remain white, stir in the veal bouillon gradually that the gravy
may become smooth. Then add the white wine and cook 1 minute, stir in
the yolks of eggs and stop cooking. The meat, which has been kept hot,
is put into the gravy and served. Rice cooked in water and bouillon is
nice served with this. Place the meat in the middle of the platter and
garnish with the rice.

Preparation: The meat is cut into 1½ inch squares. The onion is cut
into small cubes and fried slightly in the butter, the meat is then
added and stewed 10 minutes. Add the flour, salt and pepper and stew 5

⅛ lb. of butter

1 pinch of pepper
½ cup of cream
Juice of ¼ lemon
½ tbsp. of capers
½ tbsp. of meat extract if necessary
1 cup of water
Preparation: The cutlets are cut from the back, each one containing a
bone. It is pounded, shaped neatly and sprinkled with salt and pepper.
The butter is heated, the cutlets put in and fried brown on both
sides, then put on platter. Put into the butter the ½ tablespoonful of
flour and brown it. Should there be too much butter, take some out
before putting in the flour, then pour into the butter and flour one
cup of water, salt if necessary, lemon juice and cream. Press the
capers through a sieve and stir into the gravy. Put the cutlets into
this gravy, cover the pan and stew 10 minutes, then serve. If the
gravy is too light brown, add the ½ teaspoonful of meat extract.
Remarks: Anyone who does not like the taste of capers and lemon juice
may leave them out, also the cream. If you wish the gravy very fine,
leave off the above and add champignons and finely chopped or cut
truffles and 2 tablespoonfuls of Madeira.
