ROAST SADDLE OF LAMB.
754. INGREDIENTS.—Lamb; a little salt.
Mode.—This joint is now very much in vogue, and is generally considered a nice one for a small party. Have ready a clear brisk fire; put down the joint at a little distance, to prevent the fat from scorching, and keep it well basted all the time it is cooking. Serve with mint sauce and a fresh salad, and send to table with it, either peas, cauliflowers, or spinach.
Time.—A small saddle, 1-1/2 hour; a large one, 2 hours.
Average cost, 10d. to 1s. per lb.
Sufficient for 5 or 6 persons.
