Take a breast of veal, cut off both the ends, and half roast it; then put it into a stew-pan, with a quart of brown gravy, a spoonful of mushroom-powder, a blade or two of mace, and lemon-peel; so let it stew over a slow fire whilst your veal is enough; then put in two or three shred mushrooms or oysters, two or three spoonfuls of white wine; thicken up your sauce with flour and butter; you may lay round your veal some stew’d morels and truffles; if you have none, some pallets stew’d in gravy, with artichoke-bottoms cut in quarters, dipt in eggs and fry’d, and some forc’d-meat-balls; you may fry the sweet-bread cut in pieces, and lay over the veal, or fry’d oysters; when you fry your oysters you must dip them in egg and flour mixed. Garnish your dish with lemon and pickles.
28. A Herico of a BREAST of VEAL, French Way.
Take a breast of veal, half roast it, then put it into a stew-pan, with three pints of brown gravy; season your veal with nutmeg, pepper and salt; when your veal is stew’d enough, you may put in a pint of green peas boil’d. Take six middling cucumbers, pare and cut them in quarters long way, also two cabbage-lettices, and stew them in brown gravy; so lay them round your veal when you dish it up, with a few forc’d-meat-balls and some slices of bacon. Garnish your dish with pickles, mushrooms, oysters and lemons.
29. To roll a BREAST of VEAL.
Take a breast of veal, and bone it, season it with nutmeg, pepper and salt, rub it over with the yolk of an egg, and strew it over with sweet herbs shred small, and some slices of bacon, cut thin to lie upon it, roll it up very tight, bind it with coarse inkle, put it into an earthen dish with a little water, and lay it upon some lumps of butter; strew a little seasoning on the outside of your veal, it will take two hours baking; when it is baked take off the inkle and cut it in four rolls, lay it upon the dish with a good brown gravy-sauce: lay about your veal the sweet-bread fry’d, some forc’d-meat-balls, a little crisp bacon, and a few fry’d oysters if you have any; so serve it up. Garnish your dish with pickles and lemon.
30. A stew’d BREAST of VEAL.
Take the fattest and whitest breast of veal you can get, cut off both ends and boil them for a little gravy; take the veal and raise up the thin part, make a forc’d-meat of the sweet-bread boil’d, a few bread-crumbs, a little beef-suet, two eggs, pepper and salt, a spoonful or two of cream, and a little nutmeg, mix’d all together; so stuff the veal, skewer the skin close down, dridge it over with flour, tie it up in a cloth, and boil it in milk and water about an hour. For the sauce take a little gravy, about a jill of oysters, a few mushrooms shred, a little lemon shred fine, and a little juice of lemon; so thicken it up with flour and butter; when you dish it up pour the same over it; lay over it a sweet-bread or two cut in slices and fry’d, and fry’d oysters. Garnish your dish with lemon, pickles and mushrooms.
