1902 - With a Saucepan Over the Sea

England - Bachelor's Stew

DDV CULINARY

This is still another old recipe, a relic of the days before clubs became plentiful
and lonely men cooked their meals on the hob of the little fire-place of their own rooms.

Buy a slice of the fillet of veal, 2 inches thick, weighing 2 1/2 pounds.
Fry it in a pan with some butter,
a slice of lean ham,
2 carrots,
3 onions, sliced,
and some celery and green peas, 1/2 cupful each, or more if desired.
Add a spoonful of Worcestershire sauce and a cup of boiling water.
Cover very closely, and let it simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
Thicken the gravy with flour and pour it around the meat and vegetables, neatly arranged.
