Mutton Hotch-Potch

Cut up three or four well-washed lettuces, and slice half a dozen young onions, browning them slightly in two ounces of butter; add to the onions a pound of underdone mutton minced, half a cupful of mutton broth from the boiling of the bones, and the cut-up lettuces. Stew all these ingredients together for twenty-five minutes. Stir this hotch-potch to keep it from burning, and have ready boiled a pint of peas; mix the peas with the mutton, and stir for a minute or two to make all hot. Underdone beef may be used if more convenient, and a few mushrooms, to be easily had in the country, may be chopped and fried with the onion. Probable cost, 8d., exclusive of meat.
