Braized Mutton Cutlets

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Stud the mutton cutlets with red tongue and black truffles.

  2. Coat the braised cutlets with reduced Soubise sauce and let it set.

  3. Beat the eggs with a little coarse sea salt.

  4. Dip each cutlet in the egg mixture, then coat with bread crumbs.

  5. Flatten the bread crumbs with a knife and place the cutlets in a cool place until ready to fry.

  6. Heat hog's lard in a deep frying pan.

  7. Fry the cutlets until they are a deep yellow color.

  8. Drain the cutlets on a napkin or paper to absorb excess grease.

  9. Arrange the cutlets in a circle on a vegetable border.

  10. Fill the center with a Macedoine of vegetables and pour half glaze around the base before serving.
