STEWED LEG OF LAMB WITH WHITE SAUCE. (ENTREE.)* Choose a small plump leg of lamb, not much exceeding five pounds in weight ; put it into a vessel nearly of its size, with a few trimmings or a bone or two of undressed veal if at hand ; cover it with warm water, bring it slowly to a boil, clear off the scum with great care when it is first thrown to the surface, and when it has all been skimmed off, add a faggot of thyme and parsley, and two carrots of moderate size

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
