Take a neck of mutton, and cut the chops one by one without flattening them; cut off some of the flat bone at the extremity of the chops. Put them into a stewpan with all the parings, together with the parings of the onions to make the soubise. Season the whole well with carrots, a bunch of parsley, and green onions, salt, and a very small quantity of spice, etc.; throw in four or five spoonful s of good broth to braize them. When done, drain them, and let them cool. Strain the liquor through a silk sieve. Then reduce it to a glaze. Next pare the chops nicely, and put them with the glaze. This being completed, dish them miroton way, and pour the soubise or onion sauce into the middle.
Some persons take two necks of mutton, cut two bones to each chop, lard them with bacon, and braize them as above; but mutton, being in general fat, is better without being larded. With regard to the two bones, you must take care not to let them be too thick; if they are too thick you cannot dish them well.
