Swartzuir

Instructions

1. Cut the ribs of mutton as you would for curry, and put them in a stewpan with 1 onion and a pint of water.
2. When it has simmered for an hour, take out a cup of the boiling stock, skimming the top so as to remove all the fatty particles.
3. Stir into this boiling soup a large cup of fine flour, and stir well over the fire till it is a thick dough. Now set it to cool.
4. When quite cold, work the eggs into the dough, and of this make dumplings the size of a walnut.
5. Into the soup left with the meat, stir the tamarinds soaked in a pint of boiling water, with 6 cloves, the peppercorns finely bruised, the brown sugar, and salt. Let it boil well.
6. Half an hour before serving, stir in the dumplings.
7. Serve as an entrée.
