  1. Boil the calf's head as for mock turtle.
  2. Cut out the ear.
  3. Lay the ear on a board and make a few incisions through the thin gristly part about one inch long.
  4. If it requires a little more doing, put it in the soup.
  5. When done, stand it on the dish in which you intend to serve it.
  6. Turn the top of the ear over outside, so that it forms a round.
  7. If any brain to spare, put a piece in the centre.
  8. Sauce over when very hot with parsley and butter, tomato, or any sharp sauce, and serve.
Alternative preparation

  3. Dish and serve with plain gravy.
Serving suggestion

424. Calf’s Ears stewed.—If you make mock turtle with half a calf’s head, you may serve the ear; after having boiled the head as for mock turtle, cut out the ear (it should weigh about half a pound), lay it down on a board and make a few incisions through the thin gristly part about one inch long; should it require a little more doing, put it in the soup; when done, stand it on the dish in which you intend to serve it, turn the top of the ear over outside, so that it forms a round; if any brain to spare, put a piece in the centre, sauce over when very hot with parsley and butter, tomato, or any sharp sauce, and serve; or, instead of the brain, veal stuffing or forcemeat may be used; egg all over, bread-crumb, put in an oven until very hot and a nice yellow color, dish and serve with plain gravy: or it may be served with any sauce or ragout.
