Preparation: The pork-fillets are pounded, the skin and most of the
fat removed, then larded with bacon, salted and peppered. Put the fat
which you cut off into a flat baking tin with some butter; into this
heated lard and butter, put your fillets, baste often and let it roast
in the oven 45 minutes to 1 hour. This depends on the size of the
meat. 15 minutes before done, pour off some of the lard, stir in the
flour to brown, then the water and gradually the cream, basting
frequently. Strain the gravy and serve with the fillet.
No. 16—STUFFED PORK-FILLET CALLED MOCK DUCK.
Quantity for 6 Persons.
2 large fillets of 2½ lbs. or 4 small ones
⅛ lb. bacon for larding
Salt, pepper
For Stuffing.
½ lb. chopped pork
½ lb. chopped veal
2 eggs
2 tbsps. of butter for frying
½ tbsp. of butter
½ tbsp. of lemon juice
1 tbsp. of capers
Salt
1 pinch of pepper
½ tbsp. of flour
¼ cup of sweet or sour cream
1 cup of water
Preparation: The skin and fat are removed from the fillets and these
pounded flat. Chopped pork and veal, eggs, ½ tablespoonful of butter,
lemon juice, capers, salt and pepper are mixed well. This stuffing is
placed between two fillets and these are then tied together with
string or fastened together with toothpicks. If there are four
fillets, put ½ of the stuffing on two and place the other two on top,
then put bacon strips on top and fry them like No. 15, 1 to 1½ hours.
Strain the gravy and serve with the fillets. This makes a very fine
dish.
No. 17—ROASTED PORK CUTLETS.
Quantity for 6 Persons.
3 lbs. of pork cutlets
Salt, pepper
1 egg
1½ cups grated rolls
1 tbsp. of flour
1 clove
½ bay-leaf
¼ small onion
⅛ lb. of butter or lard
1 cup of water
Preparation: The pork cutlets are pounded, salted and peppered. The
egg is beaten with a tablespoonful of milk and the cutlets dipped into
this and then into the bread crumbs, then fried until light brown in
hot butter or lard. This will require 15 minutes if they are ½ inch
thick; if they are thicker, fry them for 20 minutes and place them on
a hot platter.
If there is much fat in the pan, take some of it out and brown onion
slices and flour in the remaining fat; add water, clove and bay-leaf,
also salt and pepper, if necessary, and cook for 5 minutes. Strain the
gravy and pour over cutlets or serve it separately.
No. 18—CHOPPED PORK CUTLETS.

Preparation and ingredients are the same as in No. 17. The cutlets are
chopped, carefully breaded and fried in butter about 8 to 10 minutes
if the cutlets are ½ to ¾ inch thick.
