927. EPIGRAMME OF LAMB, A LA TOULOUSE.
TRIM a neck of lamb into cutlets, and place them into a sautapan with some clarified butter; then braize a breast of lamb until quite tender, take it up, remove the bones and put it in press between two dishes; when cold, cut it into as many cutlet-shaped pieces as there are cutlets from the neck, insert a small piece of bone in each, and bread-crumb them over a coating of Allemande sauce, dip them in some beaten egg, bread-crumb them again, and place them in a sautapan with clarified butter. When about to send to table, fry the cutlets in both sautapans; as soon as they are done, glaze them lightly, and dish them up alternately, placing a plain cutlet and one that is bread-crumbed, to fill the centre with a white Toulouse ragout (No. 187), pour some Espagnole half-glaze round the entrée, and serve.
Note.—Epigrammes of lamb may also be garnished with a banquette, with scollops of cucumbers, stewed peas, asparagus-peas, &c.
