POT ROAST LARDED
(Arrosto morto lardellato)
Take a piece short and thick of beef or veal, quite tender and weighing about
two pounds or a little more. Lard it with ham or bacon cut in little pieces. Tie
with a string and put it in a stewpan with a piece of butter, one fourth of a
middle-sized onion cut in two pieces, three or four ribs of celery half an inch
thick and as many slices of carrot. Season with salt and pepper and when the
meat begins to brown--turning it often--pour over one cup of water and complete
the cooking on a low fire, leaving it to absorb great part of the gravy. See,
however, that it doesn't dry up and become black. When you send to the table
strain the juice that has remained and pour it on the meat, that may be
surrounded with potatoes cut in pieces or kept whole if small, previously
browned in butter or oil.

Of course this cutlet must be of proportionate size. Beat it well
