Fricasseed Mutton with Egg-Plant

Cut the required quantity of mutton into small pieces, place in a stewpan, and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper; shake the pan over the fire until it makes a slight hissing noise; add one-fourth pound of butter and fry until the meat is nicely browned. Trim and slice four egg-plants, rub them with salt and leave them for a short time to extract the bitter taste; take the pieces of meat out of the fryingpan, keep them hot, drain the egg-plant and fry it in the remaining fat till well browned. Place the pieces of meat on a hot dish, put the fried slices of egg-plant in a circle around, and serve while very hot.
