Dip in flour, egg, and crumbs, and saute in pork fat until tender. Serve on hot platter with tomato sauce and parsley. MUTTON AND LAMB Boiled Mutton Trim off the outside fat from a fore quarter or loin. Place in kettle ; cover with boiling water and cook until tender, allowing fifteen minutes to the pound. Serve with caper sauce made from the water in which mutton was boiled. Reserve the remainder of the water for soup for next day. Roast Mutton The leg, loin, saddle and shoulder are used for roasting. Allow twelve minutes to the pound, if liked rare, fifteen if desired well done, basting every ten minutes. To roast a leg of mutton, first remove the pink outer skin, as this contains the strong flavor. Never roast with the caul left on. The bone from the leg may be removed and the cavity stuffed and edges sewed ; or the leg maybe roasted without removing bone. In either case wipe meat, dredge with flour, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place on rack in dripping pan. Dredge pan with flour, and if the mutton flavor is desired, place pieces of mutton fat in the pan, or salt pork may be substituted. Braised Mutton Remove the bone from the leg or fore quarter. Stuff and follow rule for Braised Beef. Ragout of Mutton Use breast of fore quarter of mutton, or cold cooked mutton, and follow recipe for Beef Ragout. Roast Saddle of Mutton The saddle is what the name implies — the back. In large pieces the tail is included. Wipe meat ; remove pink skin, kidneys, and fat. Fold flanks inside and tie in shape. Place on rack ; dredge meat and pan with flour, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook in hot oven ; allow ten minutes to the pound basting frequently. Serve with currant jelly sauce. Crown Roast Or Rack of Mutton. Prepare the loin as for French chops and arrange like a crown, rolling the loin backward. Tie securely. Cover each chop bone with thin strip of salt pork to prevent burning. Place on rack in dripping pan with a bowl in center of the crown to preserve its shape. Dredge with flour, sprinkle with salt and pepper, basting frequently, and allowing nine minutes to the pound for roasting. Serve on hot platter, with potato balls, green peas, French fried potatoes, or puree of chestnuts in center of crown. Paper frills on chop bones and parsley around the base.
