u eRNN sSD much in evidence
| tnat re-cooking the remainder becomes
necessary, in order to prevent it be-
ing wasted
The most common method Of re-
heatlng cold mutton is in the form of
hash, but in very few cases is it
successfully made, for most people
make the mistake of putting the cold
meat into hot gravy and allowing it
10 Doll. The cold meat should be put
INTO cold gravy, anS should be kept
under boiling point, until just before
serving 1t is brought to the boil for
one minute, so as to cook the flour
with which it is thickened. There are
many other ways of recooking cold
| mutton which would give variety, and
| prevent its palling on the appetite.
The value of the bones must not be
overlooked. The meat should be
cut on very closely from them, and
they should be placed in cold water
| and then boiled for several hours to
| make supply of stock, useful as a
foundation for soup or in the manufac-
ture of dainty dishes from the remains
or the meat. Fat which seems in ex-
cess should be trimmed off and melt
ed down to form drippings, but a
large mass of cold fat such as is found
at the edge Of shoulder of mutton
should be chopped finely and used as
suet in the making of boiling pud-
dings.

OF recooking mutton is by grilling it,
but for this purpose only the largest
and most suitable pieces should be
| employed. The meat should be brushed
over with salad oil, sprinkled with pep
per and salt, and grilled for few
minutes on both sides over a clear
fire, which should be sprinkled with a
little salt to make it burn clearer. II
| the pieces are brushed with oil and
dipped in curry powder before they
are grilled, they can be served as dew
| lied mutton, and in this form they
| make delicious dish.
Curried mutton is also excellent, for
| although fresh meat makes the best
curry, one made from cold meat is not
TO be despised If it is carefully made.
Peel and core two medium sized ap-
pies and cut them small, and peel
and slice two onions. Fry the apple
and onion in an ounce of dripping, but
| do not let them burn Mix a heaped
teaspoonful of curry powder and a
tablespoonful of flour into a smooth
paste with half pint of cold stock.
Pour it slowly into the frying pan, and
stir 1t until 1t boils and thickens Pass
the curry mixture through a wire
sieve, add pepper and salt to taste, and
when it is cool add about one and one
half pound of neat pieces of cold NUT
ton. Allow the mutton to get heated
very slowly, and when it is almost at
the boiling point serve it in border
of rice which has been boiled so that
the grains are distinct.
