3½ lbs. mutton chops
Salt, pepper
1 pt. cream or milk
⅛ grated onion
2 tbsps. of Parmesan or Swiss cheese
⅛ lb. of butter
2 lbs. boiled, chopped potatoes.
3 yolks of eggs
Preparation: There should be 12 pieces of chops; salt and pepper them
and fry them brown on both sides in butter. The boiled potatoes are
pressed through a potato masher and mixed well with the remainder of
the butter, which is creamed with the yolks of 3 eggs, salt, grated
onion, cheese, cream and the rest of the butter which is left in the
pan. Half of this mixture is placed into a casserole, the fried
cutlets are placed on top and the remainder of the mixture put on to
cover them. Then strew bread crumbs over the whole and small pieces of
butter and bake in a medium hot oven for ½ to ¾ hour. Serve in the
casserole.
No. 17—STEWED MUTTON CUTLETS.
Quantity for 6 Persons.
4 lbs. of mutton cutlets
Salt, pepper
Some bacon for larding
½ pt. of champignons
4 truffles
1 tbsp. of flour
Some bouillon or water mixed with ½ tsp. meat extract
2 tbsps. of butter
1 small wineglassful of Madeira or red wine
Preparation: The cutlets must be 2 inches thick. They are pounded and
larded with bacon strips after the skin and fat have been removed from
them, then peppered and salted and dipped in flour. Now they are
quickly fried in butter and placed on a hot platter.
For the gravy, brown the flour in the butter, add bouillon, wine,
salt, and the cutlets. Cover and stew until done. ¼ hour before they
are done, skim the fat off and add the sliced champignons and chopped
truffles. Serve the cutlets and gravy on the same hot platter. It is
best to warm the plates with such a dish.
Remarks: You can prepare the cutlets more simply by omitting the
champignons and truffles and putting 4 tomatoes into the gravy. Strain
the gravy.
