Stuffed Shoulder Of Mutton Recipe

Instructions

1. Have the bones taken out of a shoulder of mutton.
2. Rub it all over with salt and dust it with pepper.
3. Make a dressing of 1 cup bread crumbs, 1 cup finely chopped raw potatoes, 1 onion chopped fine and cooked five minutes in a tablespoon of butter, and 1/4 cup of finely minced boiled ham.
4. Mix all thoroughly together; season with salt, pepper, a teaspoon of mixed sweet herbs, and if any moistening is needed, add sufficient hot water to moisten the bread crumbs.
5. Put this dressing in the inside of the shoulder, roll up compactly, and stitch or tie it securely.
6. Put it in the basting-pan, pour around it a cup of good broth, and roast one and a half hours in a moderately hot oven, basting often with the broth.
7. Serve all mutton on very hot dishes.
