Ingredients

  • two cupfuls of stock
  • one sprig of parsley
  • one tablespoonful of butter
  • one tablespoonful of flour
  • one tablespoonful each of worcestershire sauce
  • a stalk of celery
  • three rows
  • one carrot
  • one turnip
  • one onion
  • one bay-leaf
  • two cloves
  • one cupful
  • parsley
  • cloves
  • salt
  • pepper

Directions

1

Use a calf's or lamb's liver.

2

Lard it in two or three rows. Cut into dice one carrot, one turnip, one onion, a stalk of celery, and the bits left from the lardoons of salt pork; put them in a baking pan, and on this bed of vegetables place the larded liver. Add two cupfuls of stock or hot water, and a bouquet of one sprig of parsley, one bay-leaf, and two cloves. Cover with another pan, and cook in moderate oven for two hours; baste occasionally. Serve with the vegetables from the pan, on the same dish, placed around the liver. Pour over the liver a sauce made as follows: Put in a saucepan one tablespoonful of butter; when melted, add one tablespoonful of flour, and stir until browned; then add slowly the strained liquor from the pan. If there is not enough to make one cupful, add water to make that quantity. Season with salt and pepper, and add, if convenient, one tablespoonful each of Worcestershire sauce and mushroom catsup.
