BRAISED HAM A LA CINTRA.
Ingredients : A Westphalia or York ham, about ten pounds
in weight, (if chosen smaller, they are drier, and eat rough,)
three onions, three carrots, one head of celery, two bay-leaves, a
handful of parsley, a small buncli of sweet herbs, some season-
ing, one pound rice, four ounces butter, a little tomato sauce,
some breadcrumbs, and a tin of preserved green peas. Soak the
ham for twelve hours, then scrape it clean, and trim it ; place
it in a braising-pan, with the onions, carrots and celery cut into
small pieces ; add two bay-leaves, a bunch of sweet herbs, some
pepper, and a handful of parsley ; cover the ham with cold
water, and let it come to the boil ; then, if possible, put the pot
in the oven and braise five hours. Chop up one onion and a
piece of celery very finely, place it in a stewpan with four
ounces butter, and let simmer fifteen minutes ; then add to it
one pint of the liquor from the ham-braise, free from fat, one
pint of water, and one pound rice well washed and picked, and
let simmer until the rice is tender ; then add a small bottle of
tomato sauce and a tin of preserved green peas ; mix all gently
together and set on the stove in not too hot a place. Take the
ham out of the braise, then trim off the rind and rough fat ;
cover it with brown breadcrumbs, put a frill on the knuckle,
and place the ham on a very hot dish, and place the rice garni-
ture round it, and serve very hot.
MUTTON CUTLETS A LA GOD1VEAN.
Ingredients : Best end neck of mutton, one onion, one carrot,
a little celery, one quart of stock, some seasoning, one tin of
preserved mushrooms, four eggs, half a pint of milk, four ounces
flour, four ounces lean ham. Trim the mutton and cut out the
cutlets, (twelve in number,) cut up the onion, carrot and celery
into thin slices, and place them in a stewpan ; lay in the cutlets
in a circle on the top of the vegetables ; add one quart of stock
and some seasoning, and let simmer forty minutes ; then take
the cutlets and lay them on some clean white paper and place
between two tins, with a weight on the top to press them ; when
quite cold, trim them into shape and place in the larder until
ten minutes before wanted. Reduce the gravy that the cutlets
were cooked in to one-half by boiling, take off the fat, and add
one tin of preserved mushrooms and four ounces cooked lean
ham cut into small squares, and let simmer together twenty
minutes. Just before dinner-time, mix four ounces flour, a little
milk and the yolks of four eggs well together ; add some season-
ing ; well whisk four whites of eggs into a firm snow, and stir
lightly in the batter; dip the cutlets in the batter and drop
them into a stewpan of boiling lard or dripping, and ‘fry them a
light golden brown ; when fried, drain them on some clean
paper to absorb the fat ; place a little bed of mashed potatoes in
a hot entre’e-dish, and dish the cutlets in a circle, overlapping
one another on it ; pour the sauce in the centre, and serve **ery
hot.
