France. Associated with France by the book is about French cookery (Cooking, French); the recipe itself names no place (confidence 0.4). "Associated with" means only that the evidence named here links this recipe to that place. A recipe isn't labelled as representing an entire country because a source associates it with one, and regional origins are kept where the source gives them.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Take some cutlets from the region underlying the shoulder;
  2. that is to say, those uncovered by the removal of this joint.
  3. And do not clear the bone-ends of their meat, as when frills are to be fixed to them.
  4. Season them with salt and pepper, and brown them in butter on both sides.
  5. This done, put them in an earthenware dish with half lb.
  6. of sliced onions, tossed in butter without colouration;
  7. moisten with enough white stock to almost cover the cutlets and the onions;
  8. add the quarter of a clove of garlic, crushed, and a faggot;
  9. boil, and set in the oven.
  10. At the end of twenty minutes, add one and one-half lbs.
  11. of potatoes, fashioned to the shape of corks, and cut into thin roundels;
  12. season, and complete the cooking, basting often the while.
  13. When the cutlets are cooked, the moistening should be almost entirely reduced.
