Sauce Piquante for Leg of Mutton Cutlets
After dishing the cutlets (rec: 86) turn the butter out of the pan and put a little water into it as meat juice adheres to the pan. Into this put a slice of Spanish onion chopped very fine, half a claret glass of white wine, the juice of half a lemon, a little salt and pepper, half a teaspoonful of Worcester sauce. Thicken with half a teaspoonful of carefully mixed flour and water. Place the pan over the fire and [Pg 52]bring the mixture to boiling point, no more. Take it off and strain through a gravy strainer over the meat and serve at once.
