Veal Stew, Piquant

Take two pounds of lean veal from the fillet. Cut it into pieces half an inch square, season with salt and pepper, dredge them with flour, and fry in butter till lightly browned. Fry with them a moderate-sized cucumber sliced and floured, a quarter of a pint of green gooseberries opened and seeded, a shredded lettuce, and a few onions, if liked. Whilst they are being fried move the vegetables about to keep them from burning. Lift the ingredients into a saucepan, pour over them gradually as much boiling stock or water as will barely cover them. Let them simmer gently till the meat is tender. Serve very hot. Time to stew the veal, etc., about an hour. Probable cost, 3s. 6d. Sufficient for four or five persons.
