🥘 Ingredients

2 calf's feet, 2 slices of bacon, 2 oz. of butter, 2 tablespoonfuls of lemon-juice, salt and whole pepper to taste, 1 onion, a bunch of savoury herbs, 4 cloves, 1 blade of mace, water, parsley and butter No. 493.

👨‍🍳 Method

Procure 2 white calf's feet; bone them as far as the first joint, and put them into warm water to soak for 2 hours. Then put the bacon, butter, lemon-juice, onion, herbs, spices, and seasoning into a stewpan; lay in the feet, and pour in just sufficient water to cover the whole. Stew gently for about 3 hours; take out the feet, dish them, and cover with parsley and butter, made by recipe No. 493. The liquor they were boiled in should be strained and put by in a clean basin for use: it will be found very good as an addition to gravies, &c. &c.

Quiet elegance from another century

I tried my hand at Boiled Calf's Feet with Parsley and Butter this week, and I must say, it was an adventure. I found the calf's feet at my local butcher, and the process of soaking and stewing them was surprisingly straightforward. The real delight came from the aroma that filled my kitchen as the bacon, onions, and herbs simmered away. I was taken aback by how tender the calf's feet became after just a few hours of gentle stewing—they were practically falling apart, making them easy to remove from the bones. This dish is perfect for the weeknight cook who's looking to make the most of every ingredient. The strained liquid from the stew is a bonus—it's rich and flavorful, perfect for thickening gravies or soups later in the week. I served the calf's feet with a generous helping of the parsley and butter sauce, and it was a comforting, hearty meal that didn't break the bank. If you're up for a bit of old-fashioned cooking, give this one a try—just don't be put off by the humble ingredient list. The results are well worth the effort.
