Roasted Loin of Veal

Saw the spine and whatever hipbone remains from a fine white, fresh fat loin of veal with the kidney. Season the loin with one and one-half tablespoonfuls of salt and one heaping teaspoonful of pepper, and roll the flank part neatly over the kidney, tying it with a string. Have in readiness a lightly buttered roastingpan, place the loin in it, pour in one wineglassful of water, and put a few bits of butter here and there over the meat, then cover its entire length with a piece of well-buttered paper. Place the pan in a moderate oven, and roast for one hour and three-quarters, basting it frequently meanwhile with its own gravy. Remove it from the oven, untie and place it on a hotwater dish. Add three tablespoonfuls of broth to the gravy in the pan, skim off the fat and reduce it to the consistency of half glaze. Strain it through a sieve, either over the roasted meat or into a sauceboat, and serve at once. Minced Veal, Turkish Style Mince fine three pounds of raw veal, put it into a saucepan with two ounces of butter, two tablespoonfuls of water, and one saltspoonful of salt, and stir it over the fire until the moisture has evaporated, and the mince is well browned. Peel and chop fine three onions and a small bunch of parsley from the stems; soak the crumb of a French roll in water. Mix all the ingredients together, season with salt and pepper and stir in sufficient beaten egg to form a rather stiff paste, working it well. Put two ounces of butter into a deep fryingpan, place it over the fire until hot, then pour in the mixture and fry it until nicely browned, turning it when done on one side and finishing the other. When cooked turn the cake of mincemeat onto an ornamental dish-paper on a hot plate, garnish with fried parsley, and serve at once.
