Lamb Cutlets with Spinach

Cut a neck of lamb into cutlets, trim them to a nice shape, brush over with warm butter and season with salt and pepper; put them in a double gridiron and broil in front of a clear fire. Pick the spinach and wash it in a great many waters, as it will be hard to clean without doing so; boil it, and when it is cooked drain it on a hair sieve. Put one ounce of butter and one tablespoonful of flour into a saucepan and stir over the fire until well mixed; pass the spinach through the sieve into the butter, moisten with a small quantity of milk, and stir it over the fire until boiling. Pile the spinach in the center of a hot dish, arrange the cutlets around it, and serve. Epigrammes of Lamb with Asparagus Tops Braise a small piece of breast of lamb, and when it is cooked take it out of the pan and place it between two dishes with a weight on the top and leave until cold. Afterwards cut the lamb into equal-sized pieces, trim them to a cutlet shape and fix a bone in each like a cutlet. Trim an equal number of lambs cutlets and make them into equal pieces, and fry them. Season with salt and pepper and a few drops of lemon juice, dip in well-beaten egg and roll in breadcrumbs, giving a good coating. Place a piece of butter on the frying pan, and when melted place it on the cutlets, and fry until they are a light golden brown on either side, draining well as they are cooked. Arrange the cutlets on a hot dish, put some boiled heads of asparagus in the center, garnish with parsley, and serve.
