889. VEAL CUTLETS, A LA FINANCIERE.
PROCURE a neck of very white veal, saw off the chine-bone, and the
upper end of the ribs, leaving the cutlet-bones about three inches
and a half long; then, divide it into cutlets; flatten these with a bat
dipped in water, trim them neatly, and lard the lean of the cutlets
closely with bacon in the usual way. Next, prepare the cutlets for
braizing in the same manner as directed for a fricandeau; about one
hour and a quarter will suffice to braize them; when they must be
nicely glazed, dished up with the larded part of the cutlet uppermost
and the centre of the entrée filled with a rich Financière ragout (No.
188); pour some of the sauce round the base of the cutlets, and serve.
