How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Cut the meat up into fairly small pieces.
|
2. Bring the water and flavorings to the boil and add the meat, cover the saucepan and cook until the meat is almost tender (about 2 hours).
|
3. Remove the veal, and pass the liquid through a sieve.
|
4. Melt the butter in a saucepan, blend the flour with it, and add some of the meat liquor, lemon juice, seasoning and beaten egg yolk; the sauce should be quite thick.
|
5. Add the meat, and place in a dish.
|
6. Serve with boiled or mashed potatoes - no other vegetable is needed.
|
TIP:
|
To make a good soup from the liquid, season it to taste, and add some tapioca or sago (˝ oz. to 1 pint); cook until the cereal is transparent, and serve with small fried croutons.
