🥘 Ingredients

About 1 lb. of underdone cold mutton, 2 lettuces, 1 pint of green peas, 5 or 6 green onions, 2 oz. of butter, pepper and salt to taste, 1/2 teacupful of water.

👨‍🍳 Method

Mince the mutton, and cut up the lettuces and onions in slices. Put these in a stewpan, with all the ingredients except the peas, and let these simmer very gently for 3/4 hour, keeping them well stirred. Boil the peas separately, mix these with the mutton, and serve very hot.

Quiet elegance from another century

I tried this recipe to use up some leftover cold mutton, and I must say, it was a delightful surprise. The combination of ingredients seemed peculiar at first — who would think to mix lettuce, onions, and peas with minced mutton? — but it worked beautifully. The key, I found, was the slow simmering, which allowed all the flavors to meld together in a harmonious blend. The green onions were the star of the show; they added a fresh, zesty note that cut through the richness of the mutton and butter. I served this dish to my partner, who is a weeknight cook through and through, and they loved it. It's a great way to stretch a meal and make the most of leftovers. Next time, I might try adding a splash of vinegar for a tangy kick. But as it stands, this is a budget-friendly, resourceful dish that deserves a place in any modern cook's repertoire.
