Instructions (6)
  1. Cut two pound of veal, free from fat, into small half-inch thick cutlets; flour them well, and fry them in butter with two small cucumbers sliced, sprinkled with pepper, and floured, one moderate sized lettuce, and twenty-four green gooseberries cut open lengthwise and seeded.
  2. When the whole is nicely browned, lift it into a thick saucepan, and pour gradually into the pan half a pint, or rather more, of boiling water, broth, or gravy.
  3. Add as much salt and pepper as it requires.
  4. Give it a minute’s simmer, and pour it over the meat, shaking it well round the pan as this is done.
  5. Let the veal stew gently from three quarters of an hour to an hour.
  6. A bunch of green onions cut small may be added to the other vegetables if liked; and the veal will eat better, if slightly seasoned with salt and pepper before it is floured; a portion of fat can be left on it if preferred.
