LAMB WITH RICE

Partly roast a small fore-quarter of lamb; cut it in pieces, and lay in a dish; season, and pour over a little water; boil a pint of rice till dry, salt it, and stir in a piece of butter, also the yolks of four well-beaten eggs, only reserving enough to put over the top; spread the rice and the remainder of the eggs over the lamb, to form a covering; bake a light brown.
