Baked Mutton Chops.
3 lbs. of mutton chops; 5 fine potatoes; 1 onion; 1 kidney; 1 pint of oyster-liquor; pepper, salt, and parsley; 1 tablespoonful of butter.
Lay one-third of the chops—rid of all the fat and skin—in a baking-dish; cover with potatoes and onions, sliced very thin; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put on another layer of chops, more potatoes and onions, then the sliced kidney. Cover with potatoes; season; put in the rest of the chops; cover with onion and potatoes. Pour in the oyster-liquor and melted butter, with parsley, pepper, and salt. Cover very closely, and bake in a moderate oven three hours. Turn out upon a heated flat dish.
