Stewed Calf’s Hearts.
Wash two fresh calf’s hearts; stuff with a force-meat of crumbs, chopped salt pork, a little thyme, sage and onion. Tie up snugly in clean mosquito-netting; put into a broad saucepan; half cover with broth from your soup from yesterday or to-day. Cover and stew an hour and three-quarters gently, turning several times. Take out the hearts, and keep them hot, while you thicken the gravy with a tablespoonful of butter cut up in flour. Boil up, add pepper, salt, a little grated lemon-peel, and the juice of half a lemon, with a small glass of wine. Pour over the hearts.
