Mutton Cutlets, Larded, and Mushrooms

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the mutton cutlets thicker than for broiling.

  2. Trim them neatly and scrape the bones clean, cutting them short to leave an inch from the meat.

  3. Lard the cutlets thickly.

  4. Cook the cutlets as you would lamb or veal cutlets.

  5. Serve the mushrooms on the dish with the cutlets arranged around them.

  6. Garnish with paste or croutons.
