tablespoon butter; cut into 1/4 inch bits and clarified 1 lb
veal, lean, boneless; or 1 ; lamb, preferably from the leg,

tablespoon of dried min
In a
heavy 3 to 4 quart casserole, heat the butter over moderate heat
until a drop of water flicked into it sputters instantly. Add the
meat and brown it, tossing the pieces about with a spoon and
regulating the heat so that they color deeply and evenly with out
burning. Stir in the flour, and cook until the flour colors lightly.
Pour in the water and, still stirring, bring to a boil over high
heat. Add the onion, salt and a few grindings of pepper, reduce the
heat to low, and simmer partially covered for 30 minutes, or until
the veal is tender. Discard the onion. In a small bowl, beat the egg
yolks with a whisk or rotary beater until they thicken slightly. Add
the lemon juice, then beat in about 1/4 cup of the simmering soup.
Pour the mixture into the casserole, stirring constantly, and simmer
until the soup thickens enough to coat the spoon heavily. Do not let
it come to a boil. Remove the soup from the heat, cover tightly and
let it stand at room temperature for 4 or 5 minutes. Just before
serving, combine the melted butter, paprika and cinnamon and stir
them into the soup. Taste for seasoning. Ladle the soup into a
heated tureen or individual soup bowls and garnish with
mint |
