Cooking -- Early works to 1800; Cooking, English
Take a Shoulder of Mutton or Lamb, of the smallest size, and slip up the
Skin almost to the Leg-Joint; then cut the Flesh from the Bone, on the
upper side, and mince it very small, take part of that, and as many Oysters
parboil'd without their Fins, and chopt a little; then have some Mace
powder'd, and a little Salt and Pepper, with some grated Lemon-Peel, and
some grated Bread, with the Yolk of an Egg, or two; and make this into a
Paste, and lay it into the Places where the Flesh was taken out; and you
may add to this Paste a little Fat of Bacon cut small, or a little Butter.
Then skewer the Skin on all sides, over the Farced Meat, and lard the Skin
and the fleshy Parts below with Lemon-Peel, and some will lard in Lemon
Thyme likewise. Then fix it on a Spit with Skewers, and roast it, well
basted with Butter and well floured. The Sauce for this should be stew'd
Oysters, some Mace, stew'd Mushrooms, a little Gravey, and some White-Wine,
with Crumbs of Bread; then serve it hot, garnish'd with sliced Lemon, and
Red Beet-Root pickled and sliced.
Stew'd Veal, with white Sauce; from the same.
Take some Lean of a Leg of Veal, and cut it in thick Slices, then stew them
in Water and a little Salt, with some Mace, and a little Nutmeg, and a
Bunch of sweet Herbs. When they are almost stew'd enough with the Gravey in
them, put to the Liquor they were stew'd in, a Glass or two of White Wine,
and a little Lemon Juice, or Orange Juice, with a little Mushroom Gravey,
or Liquor of stew'd Mushrooms. When this is done, have some Mushroom
Buttons, that have been stew'd white in their own Liquor, and Spice, with a
Bay-Leaf; then strain the Liquor, and put some in the Sauce: and when it is
hot, put some thick Cream to it, with the Mushrooms; and then serve it hot
with a Garnish of sliced Lemon.
Hard _Pease-Soup._ From the same.
