To make a shoulder of mutton stuffed & roasted. For a large shoulder lift the skin flattened halfway with a finger, then take the meat close from the bone on both sides: then chop the meat very finely: & have a handful of boiled parsley, with spinach, marjoram, & chopped mint, with 4 egg yolks, nutmeg, pepper, a little salt, ground anise, then return the meat in place with the bone, & replace the skin thereon & thereunder: put it in a caul of veal, & attach well with little skewers, & put in a tart pan to cook in the oven that it will be hot enough, & the other side of the shoulder is no longer supported, lard it with hyssop & sage. Note, when it is in the oven, it must be turned two or three times, so that it has color enough one side to the other: when well cooked cast all that is in the tart pan thereon, & put on a plate orange peels cut into slices thereon: then a little good vinegar, & serve it.
