Stuffing for fillet and shoulder
Instructions (8)
  1. If your fire is good, veal will take about a quarter of an hour to each pound in roasting.
  2. The fat of the loin and fillet must be covered with paper, as we have before observed.
  3. The fillet and shoulder must be stuffed with the following savoury composition—a quarter of a pound of suet chopped fine, parsley and sweet herbs chopped, grated bread and lemon peel; pepper, salt, and a little nutmeg, and the yolk of an egg.
  4. Work these all well together, and stuff them into your veal, as secure as you can, that it may not fall out while roasting.
  5. The breast must be roasted with the caul on till it is near enough; then take it off, and flour and baste the meat.
  6. When you have taken it up, and put it into your dish, pour a little melted butter over it, and serve it up with any of the following sauces; sallad, pickles, potatoes, brocoli, cucumbers raw or stewed, French beans, pease, cauliflowers, celery, raw or stewed.
  7. Remember, in dressing any joint of veal that it is well done, but at the same time let it not be too much.
  8. If it is not done enough it will be too difficult to enjoy, and if too much, the juices will be lost, and the flesh eat tasteless.
