Hotch Potch
2 lbs. lean mutton from the neck
2 quarts cold water
1 large carrot
1 turnip
2 onions
1 cabbage
1 small cauliflower
¹⁄₂ pint of shelled peas
Cut the mutton into dice-shaped pieces, removing the fat and skin. Put it in a sauce-pan with the water and bring to the boil. Let it simmer gently for two hours. Skim. Season. Add all the vegetables, finely chopped, except the cabbage (of which the heart only should be used and which should be cooked separately). Simmer two or three hours. Add the cabbage.
