Lamb a la Casserole Agneau a la Casserole When a leg of lamb has been used for a previous dinner, this is a nice way of fixing it over if it is not wanted for cold meat. Cut the lamb in thick slices, supply one slice for each portion; put it in a saucepan with water sufficient to cover it, pepper, salt, uncut onions, and large pieces of carrots; let it simmer slowly until it is well done. In the meantime, cut vegetables such as carrots, onions, turnips, green pepper, string beans, tomatoes, and mushrooms in small dices [Macedoine style]; cook the vegetables in separate pans and cook the green vegetables very green. When the lamb is cooked strain one and a half cups of the juice in a saucepan; thicken it with two tablespoonfuls of flour dissolved in a cup of cold stock; strain this to the hot broth and stir it slowly until it comes to a boil; season to taste, if sherry wine is at hand add two spoons of it; color it with kitchen bouquet
