TO STUFF AND ROAST A CALF'S LIVER.
TAKE a fresh calf's liver, and having made a hole in it with a large knife run
in lengthways, but not quite through, have ready a forced meat, or stuffing made
of part of the liver parboiled, fat of bacon minced very fine, and sweet herbs
powdered; add to these some grated bread and spice finely powdered, with pepper
and salt. With this stuffing fill the hole in the liver, which must be larded
with fat bacon, and then roasted, flouring it well, and basting with butter till
it is enough. This is to be served up hot, with gravy sauce having a little wine
in it.
TO BROIL CALF'S LIVER.
CUT it in slices, put over it salt and pepper; broil it nicely, and pour on some
melted butter with chopped parsley after it is dished.
Directions for cleaning Calf's Head and Feet, for those who live in the
country and butcher their own meats.
As soon as the animal is killed, have the head and feet taken off, wash them
clean, sprinkle some pounded rosin all over the hairs, then dip them in boiling
water, take them instantly out, the rosin will dry immediately, and they may be
scraped clean with case; the feet should be soaked in water three or four days,
changing it daily; this will make them very white.
