the whites of four eggs, mix a little water with them, put them to the gravy,
let it boil till it looks clear, strain it, and when cold, put it over the beef.
VEAL.
DIRECTIONS FOR THE PIECES IN THE DIFFERENT QUARTERS OF VEAL.
A LOIN of veal must always be roasted: the fillet or leg may be dressed in
various ways, the knuckle or knee is proper for soup or for boiling; these are
the pieces that compose the hind quarter. In the fore quarter, the breast and
rack admit variety in cooking; the shoulder and neck are only fit for soup.
VEAL CUTLETS FROM THE FILLET OR LEG.
CUT off the flank and take the bone out, then take slices of the size of the
fillet and half an inch thick, beat two yelks of eggs light, and have some
grated bread mixed with pepper, salt, pounded nutmeg and chopped parsley; beat
the slices a little, lay them on a board and wash the upper side with the egg,
cover it thick with bread crumbs, press them on with a knife, and let them stand
to dry a little, that they may not fall off in frying, then turn them gently,
put egg and crumbs on in the same manner, put them into a pan of boiling lard,
and fry them a light brown; have some good gravy ready, season it with a
tea-spoonful of curry powder, a large one of wine, and one of lemon pickle,
thicken with butter and brown flour, drain every drop of lard from the cutlets,
lay them in the gravy, and stew them fifteen or twenty minutes; serve them up
garnished with lemon cut in thin slices.
