March 12th : STEWED BREAST OF VEAL
Put the joint into a stewpan two -thirds filled with water, next half a handful of dried marjoram and lemon thyme, and an equal quantity of fresh parsley, four small onions, a tea-spoonful of powdered mace, four cloves, the peel of a lemon chopped fine, a table-spoonful of mushroom catchup, and a tea-spoonful of salt; let it stew, very gently, for an hour and three quarters; take out the meat, run the gravy through a sieve ; and if it is not as thick as you desire, you may add butter and flour till you have made it of the proper consistency ; pour as much as necessary over the joint,
and keep the rest by.as a good foundation for any made dish of white meat.
