taste, a little clarified butter.
_Mode_.--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.
_Time_.--About 7 or 8 minutes. _Average cost_, 10d. per lb.
_Sufficient_ for 4 persons.
_Seasonable_ from Easter to Michaelmas.
_Note_.--Peas, asparagus, or French beans, may be substituted for the
spinach; or lamb cutlets may be served with stewed cucumbers, Soubise
sauce, &c. &c.
