or shalot; 3 or 4 potatoes, 1 teacupful of gravy;
crust.

_Mode_.--Cold mutton may be made into very good pies if well seasoned
and mixed with a few herbs; if the leg is used, cut it into very thin
slices; if the loin or neck, into thin cutlets. Place some at the bottom
of the dish; season well with pepper, salt, mace, parsley, and herbs;
then put a layer of potatoes sliced, then more mutton, and so on till
the dish is full; add the gravy, cover with a crust, and bake for 1
hour.

_Time_.--1 hour.

_Seasonable_ at any time.

_Note_.--The remains of an underdone leg of mutton may be converted into
a very good family pudding, by cutting the meat into slices, and putting
them into a basin lined with a suet crust. It should be seasoned well
with pepper, salt, and minced shalot, covered with a crust, and boiled
for about 3 hours.

MUTTON PIE.

734. INGREDIENTS.--2 lbs. of the neck or loin of mutton, weighed after
being boned; 2 kidneys, pepper and salt to taste, 2 teacupfuls of gravy
or water, 2 tablespoonfuls of minced parsley; when liked, a little
minced onion or shalot; puff crust.

_Mode_.--Bone the mutton, and cut the meat into steaks all of the same
thickness, and leave but very little fat. Cut up the kidneys, and
arrange these with the meat neatly in a pie-dish; sprinkle over them the
minced parsley and a seasoning of pepper and salt; pour in the gravy,
and cover with a tolerably good puff crust. Bake for 1-1/2 hour, or
rather longer, should the pie be very large, and let the oven be rather
brisk. A well-made suet crust may be used instead of puff crust, and
will be found exceedingly good.

_Time_.--1-1/2 hour, or rather longer. _Average cost_, 2s.

_Sufficient_ for 6 or 6 persons.

_Seasonable_ at any time.

MUTTON PUDDING.

735. INGREDIENTS.--About 2 lbs. of the chump end of the loin of mutton,
weighed after being boned; pepper and salt to taste, suet crust made
with milk (see Pastry), in the proportion of 6 oz. of suet to each pound
of flour; a very small quantity of minced onion (this may be omitted
when the flavour is not liked).

_Mode_.--Cut the meat into rather thin slices, and season them with
pepper and salt; line the pudding-dish with crust; lay in the meat, and
nearly, but do not quite, fill it up with water; when the flavour is
liked, add a small quantity of minced onion; cover with crust, and
proceed in the same manner as directed in recipe No. 605, using the same
kind of pudding-
