LAMB CUTLETS AND SPINACH (an Entree)
Origin: London, England
Source: Isabella Beeton, 1861
Ingredients
- 8 cutlets
- egg and bread crumbs
- salt and pepper to taste
- a little clarified butter
Instructions
- Cut the cutlets from a neck of lamb, and shape them by cutting off the thick part of the chine-bone.
- Trim off most of the fat and all the skin, and scrape the top part of the bones quite clean.
- Brush the cutlets over with egg, sprinkle them with bread crumbs, and season with pepper and salt.
- Now dip them into clarified butter, sprinkle over a few more bread crumbs, and fry them over a sharp fire, turning them when required.
- Lay them before the fire to drain, and arrange them on a dish with spinach in the centre, which should be previously well boiled, drained, chopped, and seasoned.
